Abstract:The present study examined whether monolingual and bilingual language experience—including first and second language proficiency, exposure, and age of acquisition—modify the neural mechanisms of attention during nonverbal sound discrimination. English monolinguals and Korean–English bilinguals performed an auditory two-stimulus oddball task while their electroencephalogram was recorded. Participants heard a series of two different tones (high-pitch tone vs. low-pitch tone), one of which occurred less frequentl… Show more
“…Chung-Fat-Yim et al (2023) examined whether bilingualism alters the neural correlates of attention. Korean–English bilinguals and English monolinguals heard a series of two different tones, one of which occurred less frequently (deviant tone) than the other (standard tone).…”
