Two seemingly counterintuitive phenomena – asymmetrical language switch costs and the reversed language dominance effect – prove to be controversial in the literature on language control. Asymmetrical language switch costs refer to larger costs for switching into the dominant language than switching into the less dominant language, both compared to repeating the language. The reversed language dominance effect refers to longer reaction times in the more dominant of the two languages in situations requiring frequent language switching (i.e., mixed-language blocks). In the present meta-analysis, we aimed to establish the empirical evidence for these two phenomena using a Bayesian linear mixed effects modelling approach. Our results suggest no robust asymmetrical language switch costs, even when considering paradigm and language proficiency. Similarly, no robust reversed language dominance was observed. This effect was only found in cued language switching with short preparation time. Overall, this questions the utility of both phenomena for theory testing.
