In previous work with English monolinguals, participants learned one artificial language and then learned a second language with a shifted boundary. Results showed that L1 representation presented more like L2 after learning. The current project instead works with English-Polish bilinguals to investigate the extent to which the bilingual experience modulates representational effects. We measure the bilingual participants’ experiences within each of their languages before then measuring the direction of representational change on the category boundaries.
