Thesis
MA Dissertation: Bilingual Brain Activation and language overlapping when using identical and non-identical cognates.
How words, called orthographically identical cognates, are processed and represented in the bilingual brain is not well understood. Brain activation of multiple languages and cross-linguistic overlapping is still a very small area of research. The present study used a lexical decision task, and brain data was gathered by using EEG to get information about how bilinguals categorise different “types” of words into word/non-words and in Spanish and English.
