• Determinants of bilingualism predict dynamic changes in resting state EEG oscillations 

      Pereira Soares, Sergio Miguel; Rossi, Eleonora; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-08)
      This study uses resting state EEG data from 103 bilinguals to understand how determinants of bilingualism may reshape the mind/brain. Participants completed the LSBQ, which quantifies language use and crucially the division of labor of dual-language use in diverse activities and settings over the lifespan. We hypothesized correlations between the degree of active bilingualism with power of neural ...
    • It Takes a Village: Using Network Science to Identify the Effect of Individual Differences in Bilingual Experience for Theory of Mind 

      Navarro, Ester; DeLuca, Vincent; Rossi, Eleonora (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-09)
      An increasing amount of research has examined the effects of bilingualism on performance in theory of mind (ToM) tasks. Bilinguals outperform monolinguals in ToM when comparing groups. However, it is unclear what aspects of the bilingual experience contribute to this effect in a dynamic construct like ToM. To date, bilingualism has been conceptualized as a dichotic skill that is distinct from ...
    • Riding the (brain) waves! Using neural oscillations to inform bilingualism research 

      Rossi, Eleonora; Pereria Soares, Sergio Miguel; Prystauka, Yanina; Nakamura, Megan; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-04)
      The study of the brains’ oscillatory activity has been a standard technique to gain insights into human neurocognition for a relatively long time. However, as a complementary analysis to ERPs, only very recently has it been utilized to study bilingualism and its neural underpinnings. Here, we provide a theoretical and methodological starter for scientists in the (psycho) linguistics and neurocognition ...
