Magnitudes are shown in milliseconds with SE in parentheses. Significant effects after Bonferroni corrections are indicated: §p < 0.10; ¥p < 0.05; *p < 0.01; **p < 0.001; ***p < 0.0001. GED, German–English–Dutch; CEM, Chinese–English–Malay; UCE, Uyghur–Chinese–English. A negative value for Stroop facilitation indicates that congruent condition was slower than the control condition.
