Simple slope analysis results ( Figure 2 ) indicate that for J-N1 learners, there was a significant trend of L2 processing efficiency predicting Chinese lexical processing efficiency ( β = 0.01, se = 0.00, df = 1,006, t = 1.82, p = 0.069), suggesting that higher L2 Japanese lexical processing efficiency was associated with an increased tendency for Chinese lexical processing efficiency.
