大多数研究表明同源词的命名速度比非同源词快，这些研究集中在孤立的单词产生上，这可能无法真实地反映句子产生中的认知需求。在这里，我们探讨了同源词是否会引起干扰，通过检查错误率在句子生产，以及这种干扰是如何解决的语言控制机制。20名精通西班牙语和英语的双语者用“NP 1-verb-NP 2”（NP =名词短语）的句子结构描述视觉场景。一半的名词和一半的动词是同源词，两个操作产生了很高的控制要求。这两种情况下，需要更高的抑制控制推动同源效应从促进到干扰。这些发现表明，同源词，类似于语音相似的词在一种语言中，可以诱导不仅促进，但强大的干扰。
Most research showing that cognates are named faster than non-cognates has focused on isolated word production which might not realistically reflect cognitive demands in sentence production. Here, we explored whether cognates elicit interference by examining error rates during sentence production, and how this interference is resolved by language control mechanisms. Twenty highly proficient Spanish-English bilinguals described visual scenes with sentence structures 'NP1-verb-NP2' (NP = noun-phrase). Half the nouns and half the verbs were cognates and two manipulations created high control demands. Both situations that demanded higher inhibitory control pushed the cognate effect from facilitation towards interference. These findings suggest that cognates, similar to phonologically similar words within a language, can induce not only facilitation but robust interference.
