Annotation

This study on bilinguals' language switching cost, investigated switching in a bilingual patient with frontal lobe damage and impaired control processes, to ascertain the brain mechanisms mediating language switching control. The number of erroneous language responses when required to switch from the dominant language to the nondominant language, are attributed to problems in modulating inhibitory resources across trials in a dominant language system.
