Structural brain changes with second language learning: A longitudinal voxel-based morphometry study

The underlying mechanisms that adapt with L2 learning are still poorly understood. The present longitudinal study examined the effects of L2 learning on grey matter structure of Chinese college freshmen majoring in English...

The switching between newly learned languages impacts executive control

Previous research has explored the relationship between language control and executive control based on performance in bilinguals' skilled languages...

Second language learning tunes language control network: A longitudinal fMRI study

The current longitudinal study investigated how classroom second language (L2) learning modulates the neural correlates of bilingual language control during language production...

Language control network adapts to second language learning: A longitudinal rs-fMRI study

The current longitudinal resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study examined changes in language control network after one year of L2 English classroom learning....

Effects of language context on executive control in unbalanced bilinguals: An ERPs study

The influence of the language context on language control has been widely discussed in the bilingualism literature...

Language context modulates executive control in bilinguals: Evidence from language production

The effect of language context on bilingual language control has been widely studied, but research examining how these contexts affect executive control is relatively limited...

Symmetries of comprehension-based language switch costs in conflicting versus non-conflicting contexts

The modality switching costs of Chinese–English bilinguals in the processing of L1 and L2

Effects of encoding modes on memory of naturalistic events

The memory advantage of bimodal encoding in the retrieval of isolated stimulus have been extensively studied, but researchers have not investigated...
