The way of coding letter position has been extensively assessed during the recognition
of native words, leading to the development of a new generation of models that assume
more flexible letter position coding schemes compared to classical computationalmodels
such as the interactive activation (IA) model. However, determining whether similar letter
position encoding mechanisms occur during the bilingual word recognition has been
largely less explored despite its implications for the leading model of bilingual word
recognition (multilink) as it assumes the input-coding scheme of the IA model. In this
study, we aimed to examine this issue through the manipulation of the position of the
deviant letter of cognate words (external and internal letters). Two experiments were
conducted with Catalan–Spanish bilinguals (a masked priming lexical decision task and a
two-alternative forced-choice task) and their respective monolingual controls. The results
revealed a differential processing for the first letter in comparison to the other letters
as well as modulations as a function of language cue, suggesting amendments to the
input-coding scheme of the multilink model.
