Much research has been conducted on whether bilinguals' cognitive abilities are superior to monolinguals. Recent studies reveal that bilinguals may have an advantage over monolinguals and that they are better able to multi-task and selectively attend, when performing a cognitive task. However, this ability is decreased in the presence of distracters. The current study sought to examine the effect of three types of distracters on the performance of monolinguals and non-balanced bilinguals on a lexical decision task. The researcher hypothesized that when the distracter is in the participants' L1, the participants would respond more slowly and with less accuracy than when the distracter is in their L2 or indecipherable speech due to their ability to selectively attend. Ten subjects were recruited for each group. Computer software was used to carry out the lexical decision task and monitor response times and accuracy rates, which were compared between the two groups. Results indicate that overall, monolinguals respond faster than bilingual. Within group analyses revealed that both groups responded faster when the distracter was in their L1. However, the bilingual group had greater overall accuracy than the monolingual group. Their accuracy was greatest in the presence of noise or in their L2 and least when the distracter was in their L1.
