Comprehension-based language switching in experienced and newly learned languages: Evidence from induced brain oscillations

When speaking and listening, bilinguals have the ability to seamlessly switch between their two languages using complex control processes. In the present study, we use electroencephalography (EEG) and time-frequency representation (TFR) analyses to investigate

Do Accent and Input Modality Modulate Processing of Language Switches in Bilingual Language Comprehension?

We examined how bilinguals process language switches between their first (L1) and second language (L2).

An ERP study on novel word learning in an immersive virtual reality context

In this behavioral and electrophysiological study, we compare novel word learning, particularly lexical form acquisition, in an immersive virtual reality (VR) context with a picture-word (PW) association contexts..

Sleep-dependent consolidation effects on foreign language word acquisition in a virtual reality environment

Sleep-dependent consolidation is important for novel word learning, but previous studies have neglected the potential modulating role of learning environments

Partially shared neural mechanisms of language control and executive control in bilinguals: Meta-analytic comparisons of language and task switching studies

The extent to which bilingual language control (BLC) is related to domain-general executive control (EC) remains unclear.

The Foreign Language Effect on Altruistic Decision Making: Insights from the Framing Effect

The present study investigated the foreign language effect within an altruistic decision making process..

The Role of Language Switching During Cross-Talk Between Bilingual Language Control and Domain-General Conflict Monitoring

The relationship between bilingual language control and executive control is debated...
