yes, I did two cross-language/dialect structural priming studies, with the same design and the same materials. In one experiment, Mandarin was the response language in one experiment and Cantonese was the response language in the other(primes were either in Mandarin and Cantonese in both experiments).

Dear Zhenguang,

what do your mean by Experiment 1 and 2? You have two different data sets?

    Dear Professor Trueswell,

    Thanks for the advice. I did that and found that P2 can be subsumed
    by P1 but not the other way round. I think that means something.

    My further question is that we always at least have to determine 1)
    whether P2 can be subsumed by P1 (i.e., whether the addition of P2
    can significantly improve model fit) and 2) whether P2 can be
    subsumed by P1 (i.e., whether the addition of P2 can significantly
    improve model fit). Is that correct?

        If Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 are similar enough, you could
        combine
        the data from the two experiments and model the entire set (keeping
        Experiment as a predictor in the model, to see if that matters).

            Dear R-language people,

            I realized that this is probably a question that has been
            frequently asked
            already, so sorry for spam to some people.

            I found high correlation between two predictors (P1 and P2)
            (r  = .8). So
            following Florian's advice, I did model comparisons to try
            to exclude one of
            the predictors. However, I am not sure whether I did things
            in the right
            way.

            Step 1 (to determine whether P2 can be subsumed by P1)

            M0<- lmer(Data~1+(1|Subject)+(1|Item),family='binomial')
            M1<- lmer(Data~P1+(1|Subject)+(1|Item),family='binomial')
            M2 <- lmer(Data~P1+P2+(1|Subject)+(1|Item),family='binomial')

            anova (M0, M1)
            anova (M1, M2)


            Step 1 (to determine whether P1 can be subsumed by P2)

            M0<- lmer(Data~1+(1|Subject)+(1|Item),family='binomial')
            M1<- lmer(Data~P2+(1|Subject)+(1|Item),family='binomial')
            M2 <- lmer(Data~P2+P1+(1|Subject)+(1|Item),family='binomial')

            anova (M0, M1)
            anova (M1, M2)


            In Experiment 1, I found P2 can be subsumed by P1 but not
            the other way
            round.

            However, in Experiment 2, I found P1 and P2 can be subsumed
            by each other.
            How to resolve this?


            Thanks,

            Zhenguang
