Several researchers have suggested that learning and using a second language requires
domain-general executive functions, and many have shown that bilinguals outperform …

Apart from its function in speech motor control, the supplementary motor area (SMA) has
largely been neglected in models of speech and language processing in the brain. The aim …

Much research in cognitive neuroscience supports prediction as a canonical computation of
cognition across domains. Is such predictive coding implemented by feedback from higher …

Notwithstanding rising interest, a coherent picture of the brain's representation of two
languages has not yet been achieved. In the present meta-analysis we analysed a large …

Abstract Language switching has been one of the main tasks to investigate language
control, a process that restricts bilingual language processing to the target language. In the …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

To achieve fluent language processing as a bilingual, a dominant theoretical framework
assumes that the nontarget language is inhibited. This assumption is based on several …

Acquiring and speaking a second language increases demand on the processes of
language control for bilingual as compared to monolingual speakers. Language control for …

Traditional research in bilingualism has consistently found that switching languages is
effortful, placing demands on neural systems of cognitive control. This finding runs counter to …

Bilingual language switching has been studied extensively in cued picture naming
paradigms, instructing bilinguals when to switch between languages. However, in daily life …
