Abstract Previous research identified that studying texts in a second language (L2) as opposed to the first (L1) results substantially weaker recall. We hypothesized use of advance organizers (AOs) might attenuate this L2 recall cost by supporting users construction more solid memory representations. One hundred Dutch-English bilinguals studied two either L1 or L2, and with without help mind ma...
