While classifier congruency effects have been documented in monolingual Chinese speakers, it remains unclear whether such effects extend to early Spanish–Chinese bilinguals. This study examined classifier congruency effects in NP production by 29 early Spanish–Chinese bilinguals and 30 Mandarin Chinese speakers using behavioral and electroencephalography (EEG) measures. Participants completed picture-word interference (PWI) tasks with four conditions, manipulating classifier congruency (congruent versus incongruent) and semantic relatedness (related versus unrelated). Behaviorally, both groups showed significantly longer naming latencies for classifier-incongruent and semantically related conditions. Event-related potential (ERP) results revealed N400-like effects for classifier incongruency in both groups. For semantic interference, N400-like effects were observed in bilinguals and P600-like effects were observed in Chinese speakers. This study provides the first behavioral and ERP evidence that classifier features are automatically activated in bilingual NP production, suggesting the robustness of classifier congruency effects in early Spanish–Chinese bilinguals.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148958011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated how multilingual experience—indexed by proficiency and usage—modulates the influence of trait-level (via control tasks) and state-level (using a Stroop-embedded picture naming task) cognitive control on non-native language production. Greater lexical competition was associated with poorer naming performance. Stroop trials showed facilitation for individuals with stronger control abilities but interference for those with weaker abilities, particularly among lower-proficiency participants. Higher English proficiency and more balanced language use were linked to better naming performance. Although proficient multilinguals exhibited larger lexical competition effects, those with more balanced language use demonstrated better adaptation to conflict resolution. Neuroimaging revealed increased activation in language-specific and domain-general regions under high competition, with higher-proficiency individuals dynamically recruiting additional neural resources. Together, these findings show that multilingual experience and cognitive control shape behavioral and neural mechanisms during non-native language production.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"73 1","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148934061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MLE, reported by parents at age 3, and symptoms, measured with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire at ages 5, 7 and 11, were analysed through growth mixture modelling. Four trajectory classes were identified: low-stable, high-decreasing, low-increasing, and high-stable symptoms. Children with early MLE were more likely to belong to the high-decreasing than to either the low-increasing class or the high-stable class, even after adjusting for cognitive ability and socio-demographic factors. These findings indicate an association between early MLE and trajectory membership, after adjustment for cognitive ability and socio-demographic/family factors. Given the observational design and the coarse, parent-reported assessment of MLE, interpretations about mechanisms or applied implications should remain cautious.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148898894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It offers realistic and naturalistic environments while maintaining experimental control, supporting the exploration of social and sensorimotor cues that have often been overlooked in traditional psycholinguistic research. It can also be integrated with behavioral and neurocognitive measures to examine how learning processes influence learning outcomes. These VR characteristics have brought new opportunities and contributed to the expansion of theoretical frameworks on language processing and learning. Through reviewing recent empirical findings, we establish VR as a novel methodology for investigating how embodied and social experiences shape language processing and learning. We emphasize that realizing this potential fully requires real-time multimodal tracking of learning processes, systematic examination of individual differences and development of richer virtual environments and VR-suitable assessment tasks. This review provides methodological insights for future VR research on the neurocognitive bases of language processing and learning.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148898896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study tested whether experience with Chinese, which primarily uses compounds and lacks affixes, creates distinct pathways for acquiring English compound and affix awareness, thereby shaping their associations with English vocabulary. We tested Chinese-English-bilingual and English-monolingual preschoolers ( N = 202, 3-to-5-year-olds) and built two path models. Model 1 included bilinguals and revealed that English affix awareness was primarily explained by cumulative English exposure (% English-input) and associated with vocabulary, while English compound awareness was predicted by Chinese compound proficiency and unrelated to vocabulary. Model 2 compared between groups, revealing significant associations between English vocabulary and both types of morphological awareness for monolinguals, whereas bilinguals only showed significance for affix awareness. Findings suggest that Chinese-English-bilingual and English-monolingual children show distinct morphological development patterns. Importantly, awareness of affixes, a rare feature in Chinese, is crucial for Chinese-English-bilinguals’ English vocabulary.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"51 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148901887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Language did not exert a reliable overall effect on moral decisions. However, participants responding in their first language (L1) reported higher moral self scores than those responding in their second language (L2), whereas moral integrity did not differ across language conditions. Emotional intensity varied by language and dilemma type: participants generally reported stronger emotions in their L2 but experienced stronger emotional intensity in response to sacrificial dilemmas in their L1.

Using single-trial modelling of event-related potentials (ERPs) and event-related spectral perturbations (ERSPs), we examined attention allocation to negative versus neutral words in highly proficient late Polish–English bilinguals performing a semantic categorisation task in a modified oddball paradigm. Valence and language modulated early posterior negativity (EPN) and P300, but not the N400. Mass-univariate analysis detected valence modulations in the N400 range, highlighting limitations of classic ERP approaches. Time–frequency analysis further revealed Language × Valence interactions: negative L2 words selectively elicited a cascade of delta, theta and alpha synchronisation from posterior to frontal regions across 59–641 ms, consistent with successive perceptual, lexical-semantic and regulatory processing stages. Emotional processing in L2 is thus qualitatively distinct, more effortful and regulated rather than simply being less efficient.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"41 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148693317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyses revealed that the bilinguals’ phonotactic knowledge of their two languages is similar to that of the monolinguals, while they differ from the monolinguals in processing, showing reduced phonotactic sensitivity, possibly because of the co-activation of both languages’ systems.
