| Abstract: | Abstract— A transfer paradigm was used to investigate the relationship between picture naming and translation English- Spanish bilinguals first named pictures and subsequently translated words in both their first (LI) and second (U) languages Some words in the translation task were repetitions of concepts that had previously been named as pictures Whereas picture naming produced reliable transfer to translation from LI to L2, It produced no transfer to translation from L2 to LI The results support the claim that connections in bilingual memory are asymmetric Translation is conceptually mediated from LI to L2 but lexically mediated from L2 to LI |
