Brain Correlates of Attentional Load Processing Reflect Degree of Bilingual Engagement: Evidence from EEG
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-13)The present study uses electroencephalography (EEG) with an N-back task (0-, 1-, and 2-back) to investigate if and how individual bilingual experiences modulate brain activity and cognitive processes. The N-back is an especially appropriate task given recent proposals situating bilingual effects on neurocognition within the broader attentional control system (Bialystok and Craik, 2022). Beyond its ... -
