Bilinguals have better recall for code-switched information
Bilinguals frequently code-switch during conversations—a behavior often viewed as creating processing challenges for listeners. However, code-switching may also enhance comprehension and memory by directing attention to key information. This study tested whether bilinguals recall information better in code-switched contexts compared with single-language contexts and explored whether code-switching experience amplifies this benefit. In a preregist…
The State of Cognitive Control in Language Processing
Understanding language requires readers and listeners to cull meaning from fast-unfolding messages that often contain conflicting cues pointing to incompatible ways of interpreting the input (e.g., “The cat was chased by the mouse”). This article reviews mounting evidence from multiple methods demonstrating that cognitive control plays an essential role in resolving conflict during language comprehension. How does cognitive control accomplish thi…
Hearing a code-switch increases bilinguals’ attention to and memory for information
Bilinguals reported greater attention after hearing a code-switch in a story. • Bilinguals remembered material near code-switches better later on. • Monolinguals reported less attention after hearing a code-switch. • Switch saliency alone does not explain the bilingual attention effect. • Code-switches beneficially orient bilinguals’ attention to speech content. In conversation with each other, bilinguals sometimes code-switch between their share…
The Role of Cognitive Control in Language Comprehension
This commentary examines a recent study that challenges the view that cognitive control supports the resolution of linguistic ambiguities. We critique the study’s methodological limitations, particularly its reliance on self-paced reading, which lacks the sensitivity to detect the effects of cognitive control on language processing. Furthermore, we address theoretical issues with the proposal that visual attention, rather than cognitive control, …
Linking frequency to bilingual switch costs during real-time sentence comprehension
Bilinguals experience processing costs when comprehending code-switches, yet the magnitude of the cost fluctuates depending on numerous factors. We tested whether switch costs vary based on the frequency of different types of code-switches, as estimated from natural corpora of bilingual speech and text. Spanish–English bilinguals in the U.S. read single-language and code-switched sentences in a self-paced task. Sentence regions containing code-sw…
Broca's Area and Language Processing
A long-standing pursuit in cognitive neuropsychology has been to understand the role of Broca's area in language processing. Although a prevailing view has been to equate this region with grammatical abilities in both production and comprehension, a host of recent evidence from brain imaging and patient research has revealed a rather general role for this patch of cortex in complex cognition, even when grammatical performance is untapped-namely, …
