Native German speakers with intermediate or advanced knowledge of English (<em>N</em> = 48) performed an all-L2 (English) experiment where sentences such as “The woman gave her friend an expensive <em>gift</em>” (control prime: <em>item</em>) were presented, followed by targets (i.e., <em>boss</em><span>) for lexical decision. To test the role of global task effects during sentence processing, we presented half the participants (</span><em>N</em> = 24) with a 20-min silent film narrated in German and half (<em>N</em> = 24) with the film in English before the experiment. To address the development of task effects over time, we analyzed the first and second blocks of the experiment. The results showed a significant interaction between semantic priming, movie version, and block in both the RTs and ERPs: there was significant semantic priming in the RTs and modulations in the N200 and N400 components only for participants who viewed the German movie, and only during the first block. Results suggest that in an all-L2 sentence task with L2 pre-task priming (English film), decision thresholds are raised high enough to eliminate measurable influence of the L1 on the L2. Despite identical material, participants who viewed the German film had to adjust, or <em>zoom in</em>, to the all-L2 task. Implications of this zooming in process in are discussed in terms of the recent Bilingual Interactive Activation (BIA+) model of bilingual word recognition [T. Dijkstra, W.J.B.

Most studies in this field have used single, homogeneous tasks and have not examined sex differences. In analyzing the extent of Event-related Desynchronization (ERD) in the EEG during the performance of a verbal and a visuo-spatial task, we recently found that males and females display <em>neural efficiency</em> primarily in the domain where they usually perform better (i.e., verbal in females and spatial in males; cf.

However, this interpretation was complicated by differences in the complexity of the two tasks. By using a verbal (semantic) and a spatial (rotation) task of comparable complexity in this research, we sought to replicate and extend our earlier findings by additionally considering the individual differences in intelligence structure and the topographical distribution over the cortex. Findings were similar to the previous study: Females (<em>n</em> = 35) display <em>neural efficiency</em> (i.e., less brain activation in brighter individuals) primarily during the verbal task, males (<em>n</em> = 31) in the spatial task. However, the strength of this brain activation–IQ relationship varies with the intelligence factor: In males, the highest correlations were observed for spatial IQ, in females for verbal IQ.

Initial analyses, comparing left and right attention-directing cues, replicated previous findings of early directing attention negativity (EDAN) and anterior directing attention negativity (ADAN) effects. To isolate ERP activity that is common to leftward and rightward attention shifts, the combined ERP activity elicited by attention-directing cues was compared to the ERP activity elicited by non-informative cues. This analysis revealed a strong and broadly distributed early positivity followed by a sustained central negativity, possibly reflecting the controlled orienting and subsequent maintenance of attentional focus. Finally, imperative stimuli preceded by non-informative cues were characterized by an enhanced posterior P2 effect, with a scalp distribution indicative of generators in visual areas.

Interestingly, the very same brain structures are also involved in letter processing. Accordingly, we asked whether the two mental processes interfere with each other when simultaneously probed. The first experiment used a typical IOR procedure, but the cue/target placeholders were either simple geometric shapes or English letters. The results show that, although IOR is approximately the same across visual fields when shape placeholders are used, it is significantly lessened in the right visual field when letters are used as cue and target placeholders. To examine if this finding was due to potential spatial frequency differences between the placeholders, a second experiment using shapes and Japanese letters was conducted, and no differences in IOR were found. The supramarginal gyrus appears to be the most likely locus for the letter-IOR interference effect because it is active bilaterally in IOR, but only in the left hemisphere during letter processing.

Two types of irregular verbs were studied (semi-regular verbs with a systematic diphthong alternation, <em>sentir–siento</em>, and verbs with idiosyncratic changes, <em>venir–vengo</em><span>). Regular verbs showed the same centro-parietal N400 priming effect in the second-language speakers (L2) as in primary-language (L1) speakers. However, differences between groups, in the ERP pattern and the topography of the N400 effect, were observed for irregular morphology. In L1 speakers, the N400 effect was attenuated only for semi-regular verbs. In contrast, L2 speakers showed a reduced N400 priming effect in both irregular contrasts.
