Attentional control as an ability to regulate information processing during goal-directed behavior is critical many theories of human cognition and thought predict a large range everyday behaviors. However, in recent years, failures reliably assess individual differences attentional have sparked debate concerning whether control, currently conceptualized assessed, can be regarded valid psychometric construct. In this consensus paper, we summarize the current from theoretical, methodological,...
Given prior studies that provided inconsistent results, there is an ongoing debate on the issue of whether bilingualism benefits cognitive control. We tested Adaptive Control Hypothesis, according to which only intense use different languages in same situation without mixing them single utterances (called dual-language context) confers a bilingual advantage response inhibition. In large-scale correlational study, we attempted circumvent several pitfalls previous research by testing...
Abstract In many published studies, various modifications of the flanker task have been used. Regardless version, conflict N2 component has consistently reported and interpreted as evidence for resolution introduced by incongruent flankers. However, ERP studies that used most basic (i.e., a version with equiprobable congruent conditions in which only congruency between target flankers is manipulated) not provided compelling component. We report results large‐sample study employing allowed us...
Abstract Previous studies have reported fewer social biases in bilinguals compared to monolinguals. However, it is unclear whether the expression of varies across bilingualism spectrum. This article investigates connections between different dimensions bilingual experience and explicit bias. We analyzed responses 389 a battery questionnaires on multicultural experiences, bias, internal external motivation respond without prejudice executive control. The results show that more diverse...
Background: Aging is associated with progressive cognitive decline, as well increased prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors and reduced cardiorespiratory fitness. In fact, health fitness are both a decline in functioning. This study examines the common distinct contributions these cardiovascular on variability across different domains cognitively healthy older adults. Methods Results: We apply structural equation modelling (SEM) to model cross-sectional relationships between health,...
The growing importance of research on bilingualism in psychology and neuroscience motivates the need for a psychometric model that can be used to understand quantify this phenomenon. This is first meet need. We reanalyzed two data sets (N = 171 N 112) from relatively young adult language-unbalanced bilinguals asked whether best described by factor structure or network structure. models were established one set then validated other fully confirmatory manner. provided fit data. implies should...
Abstract The broadband shape of the EEG spectrum, summarized using slope a 1/fx function, is thought to reflect balance between excitation and inhibition in cortical regions (E:I balance). This an important characteristic neural circuits could inform studies aging, as older adults show relative deficit inhibitory activity. Thus far, no have leveraged event-related temporal dynamics activity better understand phases information processing, especially context aging. Here, for first time, we...
Abstract The multidimensionality of the bilingual experience makes investigation bilingualism fascinating but also challenging. Although literature distinguishes several aspects bilingualism, measurement methods and relationships between these have not been clearly established. In a group 171 relatively young Polish–English bilinguals living in their first-language environment, this study investigates multiple measures bilingualism. shows that language entropy – an increasingly popular...
Evidence for the relationship between individual alpha frequency (IAF) and cognitive ability (general intelligence) is inconclusive, role of rhythm in shaping cognition hotly debated. This study aimed to provide more conclusive evidence. EEG was recorded during three resting state sessions, a vigilance session, short-term visual memory task. Six respective IAF estimates were calculated total 153 participants. Participants also completed battery 17 tests measuring four main dimensions...
Neural complexity is thought to be associated with efficient information processing but the exact nature of this relation remains unclear. Here, relationship fluid intelligence (gf) resting-state EEG (rsEEG) over different timescales and electrodes was investigated. A 6-min rsEEG blocks eyes open were analyzed. The results 119 subjects (57 men, mean age = 22.85 ± 2.84 years) examined using multivariate multiscale sample entropy (mMSE) that quantifies changes in richness multiple data...
Four experiments investigated whether conforming to Gestalt principles, well known drive visual perception, also facilitates the active maintenance of information in working memory (VWM). We used change detection task, which required memorization patterns composed several shapes. observed no effects symmetry on VWM performance. However, there was a moderate positive effect when particular shape that probed matched whole pattern (the whole-part similarity effect). Data support models assuming...
Abstract This study investigated how natural language use influences inhibition in language-unbalanced bilinguals. We experimentally induced patterns of (as proposed by the Adaptive Control Hypothesis) and assessed their cognitive after-effects a group 32 Polish–English Each participant took part series three games involving real conversation. game was followed two tasks (stop-signal task Stroop task). The manipulation form did not affect behavioural measures, but it ERPs. Performance...
Abstract The broadband shape of the EEG spectrum, summarized using a 1/ f x function, is thought to reflect balance between excitation and inhibition in cortical regions (E:I balance). This an important characteristic neural circuits could inform studies aging, as older adults show relative inhibitory activity deficit. Thus far, no have leveraged event-related temporal dynamics better understand phases information processing, especially context aging. Here, for first time, we examined...
Evidence is mixed whether fluid intelligence (Gf) associated with increased or decreased alpha and beta band activity (7–30 Hz). Moreover, the Gf relationship delta theta (1–7 Hz) unknown. We recorded electroencephalographic (EEG) data in 160 healthy adults solving Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices a randomized item order to control for difficulty unaffected by sequential effects. The participants studied each matrix 30 s before response bank onset, so we could track time course of...
