“…For instance, found no switch cost difference when directly comparing language switching and task switching, whereas Calabria et al (2015) found no age effect on task switch costs but a decrease of language switch costs with increasing age. So, the former implies an overlap between language switching and task switching, whereas the latter does not (see Calabria et al, 2019, for a recent review on this topic).

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 empirical effects that are typically explained with inhibitory control. In the current article, we discuss four prominent effects linked to bilingual inhibition in language production (i.e., asymmetrical switch costs, n−2 language repetition costs, reversed language dominance, and the blocked language order effect). We argue that these effects require more empirical examination in order to arrive at a firmer basis for the assumption that inhibition plays a major role during bilingual language control. In particular, the empirical replicability of the phenomena themselves needs to be established more firmly, the underlying theoretical assumptions need further examination, and the alternative explanations of the empirical effects need to be scrutinized. In turn, we conclude that inhibitory control may provide a coherent framework for bilingual language production while outlining the challenges that the inhibition account still needs to face.

“…If similar brain regions are involved in both language control and cognitive control, but the patterns of activity within these brain regions differ, it is still difficult to conclude that overlapping brain activity is the mechanism that connects bilingual language control and cognitive control. Other research continues to raise questions about the relationship between language switching and task-switching (Calabria et al, 2019;Paap et al, 2021). In 2015, Weissberger and colleagues found widespread differences in fMRI activity for the non-switch conditions of a picture-naming task and a shape-color taskclaiming that bilinguals were staying, not switching experts.…”

“…In addition to research on the bilingual advantage, these results have implications for theories about bilingual language control. There are competing theories about the cognitive and neural mechanisms associated with bilingual language control (Calabria et al, 2019;Costa et al, 2006;Kroll et al, 2008). On the one hand, language-specific selection models suggest that selecting the context-appropriate words in either language rely on the same neurocognitive mechanisms that a monolingual would use to select among words within a single language.…”

Previous research suggests that bilingual language control requires domain-general cognitive control. Recent research suggests that exploration of individual differences is key for understanding the relationship between bilingual language control and cognitive control. The current study used multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) to examine within-subject patterns of fMRI activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during bilingual language switching and non-linguistic task-switching. We hypothesized that bilinguals would have identifiable, within-subject patterns of DLPFC activity for both types of switching and that bilinguals and monolinguals would differ in patterns of DLPFC activity for task-switching. We were unable to identify patterns of DLPFC activity associated with bilingual language switching. Task-switching was related to patterns of left DLPFC activity for both bilinguals and monolinguals, and there were identifiable patterns of right DLPFC activity for the bilinguals only. These findings suggest that the DLPFC is not the key brain structure connecting bilingual language and task-switching.

“…It has been shown that language switching and language control, implied by bilingualism, recruit the same neural architecture as non-verbal, higher-order cognitive control mechanisms ( Abutalebi and Green, 2008 ; Declerck and Philipp, 2015 ; for review see Calabria et al, 2019 ). As a consequence, a recent line of research has investigated whether bilingualism may have beneficial consequences for cognition, beyond the linguistic domain, i.e., the so-called bilingual advantage (e.g., de Bruin et al, 2015 ).…”

The Protective Influence of Bilingualism on the Recovery of Phonological Input Processing in Aphasia After Stroke

et al. 2021

Language-related potentials are increasingly used to objectify (mal)adaptive neuroplasticity in stroke-related aphasia recovery. Using preattentive [mismatch negativity (MMN)] and attentive (P300) phonologically related paradigms, neuroplasticity in sensory memory and cognitive functioning underlying phonological processing can be investigated. In aphasic patients, MMN amplitudes are generally reduced for speech sounds with a topographic source distribution in the right hemisphere. For P300 amplitudes and latencies, both normal and abnormal results have been reported. The current study investigates the preattentive and attentive phonological discrimination ability in 17 aphasic patients (6 monolinguals and 11 bilinguals, aged 41–71 years) at two timepoints during aphasia recovery. Between the two timepoints, a significant improvement of behavioral language performance in both languages is observed in all patients with the MMN latency at timepoint 1 as a predictive factor for aphasia recovery. In contrast to monolinguals, bilingual aphasic patients have a higher probability to improve their processing speed during rehabilitation, resulting in a shortening of the MMN latency over time, which sometimes progresses toward the normative values.
