Conflict-based speech error monitoring in bilinguals: Differences between first and second language monitoring

Domain-general cognitive control processes in bilingual switching: evidence from midfrontal theta oscillations

“…The similar midfrontal theta modulation in response to error commission in both action monitoring (as observed by Cavanagh et al, 2012 and Luu et al, 2004) and speech production monitoring suggests the presence of common underlying mechanisms. Our finding further substantiates previous neuroimaging studies highlighting the shared post-error ERN component (Acheson et al, 2012; Coulter & Phillips, 2022; Zheng et al, 2018a) and increased activity in the ACC for action and speech monitoring (Abutalebi et al, 2012; Christoffels et al, 2007b; Gauvin et al, 2016). Taken together, our results support the notion that speech monitoring is not an exceptional case but rather a part of domain-general action monitoring processes.…”

“…Support for language control being domain-general primarily stems from similarities in behavioural and neural patterns observed during language and non-linguistic control. These similarities include matched switch-cost effect (Declerck et al, 2017a; Prior & Gollan, 2013; Timmermeister et al, 2020), activation of common brain regions (e.g., lateral prefrontal cortex, Abutalebi & Green, 2008; de Bruin et al, 2014; Hernandez et al, 2000; Wang et al, 2009; anterior cingulate cortex, Abutalebi et al, 2008, 2012; Christoffels et al, 2007b; Gauvin et al, 2016; Guo et al, 2011; Rossi et al, 2021; and presupplementary motor area; Christoffels et al, 2007b; de Bruin et al, 2014; Guo et al, 2011; Rossi et al, 2021), as well as the presence of similar event-related potential (ERP) signals (e.g., N2; Jackson et al, 2001; Jamadar et al, 2015; Kang et al, 2020; Verhoef et al, 2010; Zheng et al, 2020; and the event-related negativity; Coulter & Phillips, 2022; Zheng et al, 2018a).…”
