Using a visual world eye-tracking paradigm, the present study investigated whether Italian-German bilingual children use the grammatical gender of the determiner to predict the upcoming noun, whether processing is delayed if there is a mismatch in gender between the two languages, and whether processing efficiency and cross-linguistic influence are related to relative language proficiency. Our results provide evidence for rapid incremental processing of grammatical gender in bilingual children, although gender incongruency between German and Italian delayed anticipation. Moreover, our findings confirm that language dominance matters; Italian-dominant children showed more anticipation and less interference from German when processing Italian sentences.
