    • Bilingualism and Aging: Implications for (Delaying) Neurocognitive Decline 

      Gallo, Federico; DeLuca, Vincent; Prystauka, Yanina; Voits, Toms; Rothman, Jason; Abutalebi, Jubin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-02)
      As a result of advances in healthcare, the worldwide average life expectancy is steadily increasing. However, this positive trend has societal and individual costs, not least because greater life expectancy is linked to higher incidence of age-related diseases, such as dementia. Over the past few decades, research has isolated various protective “healthy lifestyle” factors argued to contribute ...

    • Cingulate cortex morphology impacts on neurofunctional activity and behavioral performance in interference tasks 

      Fedeli, Davide; Del Maschio, Nicola; Del Mauro, Gianpaolo; Defendenti, Federica; Sulpizio, Simone; Abutalebi, Jubin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-11)
      Inhibitory control is the capacity to withhold or suppress a thought or action intentionally. The anterior Midcingulate Cortex (aMCC) participates in response inhibition, a proxy measure of inhibitory control. Recent research suggests that response inhibition is modulated by individual variability in the aMCC sulcal morphology. However, no study has investigated if this phenomenon is associated with ...

    • Decision-making depends on language: A meta-analysis of the Foreign Language Effect 

      Del Maschio, Nicola; Crespi, Federico; Peressotti, Francesca; Abutalebi, Jubin; Sulpizio, Simone (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-02)
      In the present meta-analysis, we investigated the robustness and the magnitude of the Foreign Language Effect (FLE) – that is, the putative effect of language context (native versus foreign language) on decision-making. We also investigated whether the FLE is moderated by language experience – measured by second language age of acquisition and proficiency – or by methodological choices – the types ...

    • Foreign to whom? Constraining the moral foreign language effect on bilinguals' language experience 

      Del Maschio, Nicola; Del Mauro, Gianpaolo; Bellini, Camilla; Abutalebi, Jubin; Sulpizio, Simone (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-27)
      The moral foreign language effect (MFLE) describes how people’s decisions may change when a moral dilemma is presented in either their native (NL) or foreign language (FL). Growing attention is being directed to unpacking what aspects of bilingualism may influence the MFLE, though with mixed or inconclusive results. The current study aims to bridge this gap by adopting a conceptualization of ...

    • The nuance of bilingualism as a reserve contributor: Conveying research to the broader neuroscience community 

      Voits, Toms; DeLuca, Vincent; Abutalebi, Jubin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-24)
      The neurological notion of “reserve” arises from an individually observable dissociation between brain health and cognitive status. According to the cognitive reserve hypothesis, high-reserve individuals experience functional compensation for neural atrophy and, thus, are able to maintain relatively stable cognitive functioning with no or smaller-than-expected impairment. Several lifestyle factors ...

    • The Nuance of Bilingualism as a Reserve Contributor: Conveying Research to the Broader Neuroscience Community 

      Voits, Toms; DeLuca, Vincent; Abutalebi, Jubin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-24)

    • The processing of bilingual (switched) compound verbs: Competition of words from different categories for lexical selection 

      Purmohammad, Mehdi; Vorwerg, Constanze; Abutalebi, Jubin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-09)
      This paper investigates the production of Persian–English bilingual compound verbs (BCVs) of the type [VERB+VERB]. In this type of code-switched structure, a lexical verb from the donor language English is combined with a light verb from the native language Persian. We tested the hypothesis that in Persian–English BCVs English verbs occupy the nominal slots of monolingual Persian complex predicates ...
