Visual simulations in the two cerebral hemispheres: A bilingual perspective
Brain Lang. 2023 Jul;242:105291. doi: 10.1016/j.bandl.2023.105291. Epub 2023 Jun 3.ABSTRACTThe ability of each hemisphere to construct visual simulations during first language (L1) and second language (L2) sentence reading was investigated. Late bilinguals read L1 and L2 sentences and decided after each sentence whether a pictured object was mentioned in the sentence. Target pictures were presented laterally in the left/right visual field (LVF/RVF) to the right/left hemisphere (RH/LH), respectively. 'Yes' responses were faster when the pictured object's shape matched, rather than mismatched, the sentence-implied shape, irr...

Early ERP indices of gender-biased processing elicited by generic masculine role nouns and the feminine-masculine pair form
Brain Lang. 2023 May 30;242:105290. doi: 10.1016/j.bandl.2023.105290. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn most gender-marked languages, the masculine form is used to refer to male people specifically as well as to people of any gender generically. This dual functionality was shown in behavioral studies to lead to male-biased mental representations. Here, using EEG, we targeted the neurophysiological basis of this bias by investigating whether and how the generic masculine influences the early perceptual and cognitive processing of anaphoric references to men and women. We found that ERP amplitudes in the P200 range were large...
