Prospective memory in bilinguals and monolinguals: ERP and behavioural correlates of prospective processing in bilinguals López Rojas, Cristina Marful Quiroga, María Alejandra Bajo Molina, María Teresa Prospective memory Focality Monitoring ERP Bilingualism Language control Bilingual experience N300 P3b Prospective memory (PM) allows us to form intentions and execute them in the future. Successful retrieval of prospective intentions depends on adequate context monitoring and disengagement from the ongoing task. These processes are also central in predicting incoming language information and guiding language production in bilinguals. We investigated if different bilingual experiences (early/late bilinguals, monolinguals) modulate performance in PM tasks that varied in attentional requirements (focal vs. non-focal). Behavioural and eventrelated potential (ERP) results indicated that early bilinguals differed from late bilinguals and monolinguals in how they performed the prospective task. Specifically, they showed larger differences between the ongoing activity and the prospective task in the N300 and P3b components when performing the more difficult non-focal PM task, indicating that they engaged in monitoring/updating to adapt to the task’s demands. These differences were not observed in late bilinguals and monolinguals, suggesting that prospective processing is dependent on the bilingual experience. 2023-03-08T09:09:06Z 2023-03-08T09:09:06Z 2021-12-28 journal article Cristina López-Rojas...
