ERP differences between monolinguals and bilinguals: The role of linguistic distance

چکیده

Abstract A growing body of research suggests that bilingualism may afford benefits to certain aspects cognitive functioning. Inconsistent findings arise because methodological differences within and across studies. One limitation is studies often compare linguistically similar languages. The present study recorded brain activity (event-related potentials; ERPs) while English monolinguals, English–French bilinguals, Arabic–English bilinguals completed an n-back task a delayed matching-to-sample task. Group ERP were observed in the absence behavioral differences. In task, monolinguals exhibited smaller N2 amplitude compared both bilingual groups, P3b bilinguals. n-back, displayed larger amplitudes than did not differ between either These results suggest conflicting be due part linguistic distance languages under study.

Differences in word recognition between early bilinguals and monolinguals: behavioral and ERP evidence.

We investigated the behavioral and brain responses (ERPs) of bilingual word recognition to three fundamental psycholinguistic factors, frequency, morphology, and lexicality, in early bilinguals vs. monolinguals. Earlier behavioral studies have reported larger frequency effects in bilinguals' nondominant vs. dominant language and in some studies also when compared to corresponding monolinguals. ...

Phonological processing differences in bilinguals and monolinguals.

The present study examined whether monolinguals and balanced bilinguals perceive speech sounds similarly or whether the two phonological systems in bilinguals interact so that one language is affected by the other. Two groups, monolingual native speakers of Finnish and balanced Finnish-Swedish bilinguals, were tested. We measured mismatch negativity (MMN) responses and used individually selecte...

Differences in the Association between Segment and Language: Early Bilinguals Pattern with Monolinguals and Are Less Accurate than Late Bilinguals

Early bilinguals often show as much sensitivity to L2-specific contrasts as monolingual speakers of the L2, but most work on cross-language speech perception has focused on isolated segments, and typically only on neighboring vowels or stop contrasts. In tasks that include sounds in context, listeners' success is more variable, so segment discrimination in isolation may not adequately represent...
