Where, When and Why Brain Activation Differs for Bilinguals and Monolinguals during Picture Naming and Reading Aloud

Abstract: Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we found that when bilinguals named pictures or read words aloud, in their native or nonnative language, activation was higher relative to monolinguals in 5 left hemisphere regions: dorsal precentral gyrus, pars triangularis, pars opercularis, superior temporal gyrus, and planum temporale. We further demonstrate that these areas are sensitive to increasing demands on speech production in monolinguals. This suggests that the advantage of being bilingual comes at the … Show more

“…Turning to L2 syntactic processing, to the best of our knowledge there is no fMRI evidence on the processing of long-distance dependencies in L2, as the majority of the available fMRI studies focus on single-word processing or production (Parker Jones et al 2012), and fMRI studies that tap on grammatical processing are usually concerned with morphology (de Grauwe et al 2014;Pliatsikas, Johnstone & Marinis 2014a;2014b) (for reviews, see Indefrey 2006;Roberts et al 2016). The available neuroimaging studies have gone as far as demonstrating significant overlap in areas such as the LSTG, LMTG and LIFG for sentence processing in L1 and L2, with larger clusters significantly activated for L2 processing (Hasegawa, Carpenter & Just 2002).…”

“…Interestingly for our purposes, the results of comparing not only monolinguals and bilinguals while processing their corresponding native language (English vs. Greek, respectively), but also both groups in English, are presented herein. During the picture naming and reading tasks in both cases, bilinguals showed more activation than monolinguals in six regions of interest of the left hemisphere: planum temporale, dorsal precentral gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, pars opercularis, ventral pars triangularis and anterior insula (see Table 3 in Parker-Jones et al, 2012). The authors interpreted that the increased activation in these left hemisphere ROIs indicated greater demands in word retrieval, articulation and post-articulatory monitoring processes.…”

“…Another study that compared the brain correlates of language processing in bilingual and monolingual speakers is that by Parker-Jones et al (2012), which employed a variety of language tasks (e.g., picture naming, word overt reading and lexical-semantic decisions). These language tasks were completed by a group of English monolinguals and three groups of bilinguals whose L2 was English: a heterogeneous group of bilinguals (i.e., with German, Italian, Dutch, or Czech as their L1) and two groups of Greek-English bilinguals.…”

“…The activation of the ventral part of the IFG has been observed in studies requiring more elaborate semantic processing [Binder et al, 2009;Mestres-Missé et al, 2008] and second language processing in bilinguals Parker-Jones et al, 2012;Rodriguez-Fornells et al, 2002].…”
