Genetic bases of language control in bilinguals: Evidence from an EEG study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Human Brain Mapping"
DOI: 10.1002/hbm.26301
Abstract: Previous studies have debated whether the ability for bilinguals to mentally control their languages is a consequence of their experiences switching between languages or whether it is a specific, yet highly‐adaptive, cognitive ability. The current… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jml.2020.104195
Abstract: Abstract Bilingual language control refers to a bilingual’s ability to speak exclusively in one language without the unintended language intruding. It has been debated in the literature whether bilinguals need an inhibitory mechanism to control… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT How does the brain process and control languages that are learned at a different age, when proficiency in all these languages is high? Early acquired strong languages are likely to have higher baseline activation… read more here.

Age-related effect on language control and executive control in bilingual and monolingual speakers: Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2020.107336
Abstract: Research suggests that bilingual language control and executive control (EC) have similar mechanisms and share common brain networks. Managing two languages presumably reinforces these networks and enhances the level of general executive functioning in bilinguals.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhac051
Abstract: The cognitive function of the human cerebellum could be characterized as enigmatic. However, researchers have attempted to detail the comprehensive role of the cerebellum in several cognitive processes in recent years. Here, using functional magnetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1367006916637739
Abstract: Is there a single trajectory to third-language (L3) communicative proficiency in proficient, adult bilingual speakers? Parsimony favours such a possibility but in this theoretical paper we argue that multiple trajectories will be the norm. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/13670069221086302
Abstract: Aims: Cross-language interference studies of language control mainly focus on the lexical level, whereas language control may occur at the smallest unit phonemic level of language. In the present study, we examined the role of… read more here.

The contributions of language control to executive functions: From the perspective of bilingual comprehension
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology"
DOI: 10.1177/1747021818821601
Abstract: Previous studies have suggested that bilingual production experience has beneficial effects on executive functions. In the current study, four experiments were conducted to investigate whether bilingual comprehension experience influences executive functions. In Experiments 1 and… read more here.

Abstract: Previous language production research with bidialectals has provided evidence for similar language control processes as during bilingual language production. In the current study, we aimed to further investigate this claim by examining bidialectals with a… read more here.
