This uncomplicated mechanism becomes more complicated for multilinguals. This complica- tion is partly resolved by inhibitory control mechanisms. The focus of the earlier studies on inhibitory control function was on bilinguals. Therefore, present study aimed at investigating the language switching performance and lexical robustness using verbal uency task in multilinguals. Twenty multilingual speakers of Kannada (L1), English (L2) and Hindi (L3) in the age range of 18 to 23 years participated in the study. Reaction time of language switching across the languages and verbal uency in all the three languages were calculated. The ndings suggested an interaction between inhibitory control abilities and language switching capabilities when particularly switching from a more procient language to less procient language
