研究表明，双语者在抑制与任务无关的信息和认知控制任务的整体速度方面优于单语者。本文比较了单语者和双语者在两个非语言任务上的表现：Stroop任务(在刺激特征之间存在知觉刺激-刺激冲突)和Simon任务(在刺激-反应冲突下)。在两个测试不同语言特征的双语者的实验中，双语者表现出比西蒙更有效的表现，相对于单语者，后者在两个任务中表现出的差异较小。研究结果表明，与西蒙类型的机制相比，双语可能更多地使用Stroop类型的认知控制机制，这可能是由于双语语言处理过程中刺激-刺激冲突的增加。本文结合前人对斯特鲁普和西蒙双语表现的研究，对研究结果进行了讨论。
Bilinguals have been shown to outperform monolinguals at suppressing task-irrelevant information and on overall speed during cognitive control tasks. Here, monolinguals’ and bilinguals’ performance was compared on two nonlinguistic tasks: a Stroop task (with perceptual Stimulus–Stimulus conflict among stimulus features) and a Simon task (with Stimulus–Response conflict). Across two experiments testing bilinguals with different language profiles, bilinguals showed more efficient Stroop than Simon performance, relative to monolinguals, who showed fewer differences across the two tasks. Findings suggest that bilingualism may engage Stroop-type cognitive control mechanisms more than Simon-type mechanisms, likely due to increased Stimulus–Stimulus conflict during bilingual language processing. Findings are discussed in light of previous research on bilingual Stroop and Simon performance.
