Abstract
(type = abstract)
Previous research has examined how cognitive processes may change as a function of acquiring a second language. More concretely, it has been demonstrated how processing in a second language may broaden the scope of one’s cognitive ability beyond communication. Findings have shown 2nd language (L2) learners to demonstrate a reduction in decision biases, increased perspective taking during joint tasks, and enhanced cognitive control. This study investigated the differences in prejudicial tendencies of monolinguals and those who acquire a second language (L2), using a mouse tracking software. The software measured individuals’ implicit thoughts towards out-group and in-group members by capturing the movements involved in categorization of these groups with positively/negatively valanced words. Compared to the traditional implicit association tests, this measure captured hand movements from when the stimulus was presented until the final categorization, providing greater insight into the cognitive processes involved. This study revealed that monolinguals and bilingual’s initial movement was not significantly different. Bilinguals demonstrated slower time to completion on all conditions compared to monolinguals, but not significantly.
