This study examined from a Multi-Competence viewpoint how bilinguals' cognition could develop, based on the results in various reading experiments including eye-movement, on-line visual word recognition and bilingual children's literacy development. The results suggested that 1) bilinguals visual word recognition processes are in common in the first and second languages thus they vary depending on the combination of languages and 2) bilingual cognition seems to be developed and then established influenced by the two languages and it could change easily by the amount of use of each language.
