Consistent with previous findings, the results showed one-way facilitation and inhibition from L1 to L2 when bilinguals performed le xical decision tasks in both languages respectively. Interactive interference and facilitation were observed in a cued language-switching task. Moreover, language-switching costs were present for both directions of switching, and for both groups of Chinese- Japanese bilinguals. However, asymmetry in the cost of switching languages was found only in those bilinguals who speak Chinese as a first language.
