The present study was designed to explore the repetition priming effects in verb generation among non-proficient Chinese-English bilinguals. Sixty Chinese and English translation equivalent nouns were used as stimuli in the experiment in which the repetition priming paradigm was herein deployed. Thirty-one non-English major undergraduates generated a verb that was related to the presented noun stimulus. The results show that:1) the mean reaction times to studied noun stimuli were significantly shorter compared to those of non-studied stimuli during verb generation, indicating there were repetition priming effects;2) the reaction times and the magnitude of repetition priming in L1 and L2 differed significantly, indicating the effects of language proficiency on repetition priming effects in verb generation. Our results lent support to the transfer-appropriate processing theory and revised hierarchical model.
