    • Bilingualism as a gradient measure modulates functional connectivity of language and control networks 

      Sulpizio, Simone; Del Maschio, Nicola; Del Mauro, Gianpaolo; Fedeli, Davide; Abutalebi, Jubin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-22)
      There is currently no agreement on which factor modulates most effectively and enduringly brain plasticity in bilingual individuals. Grouping heterogeneous linguistic profiles under a dichotomous condition (bilingualism versus monolingualism) may obscure critical aspects of language experience underlying neural changes, thus leading to variable and often conflicting findings. In the present study, ...

    • 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 ...
