| Abstract | We evaluated whether learning a second language (L2) influences the processing of numerical information. A group of German/English bilinguals with high/low L2 fluency performed two-digit number comparison tasks while the unit-decade compatibility was evaluated. All participants presented compatibility effect with Arabic digits regardless of their L2 learning stage. However, low fluency bilinguals performed verbal number comparison as monolinguals (regular compatibility effect in German, reverse compatibility effect in English) while fluent bilinguals with intensive experience in L2 learning did not show compatibility effects in either German or English. These results suggest that L2 learning determines the processing of two-digit number words. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd. |
