We hypothesised that the degree of proficiency in each language would be related to the extent of functional activity measured in a region of interest analysis. Proficiency in each language was quantified using two neuropsychological tests. All four languages activated overlapping brain areas, corresponding to the major language regions. The number of activated voxels correlated with proficiency, so that the activated volume increased for languages in which a subject had poorer proficiency. Activation did not appear to be dependent on the age at which the language was learnt. | Gov't Doc #: | 15120544 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/9735 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.bandl.2004.01.008 | Journal: | Brain and language | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15120544 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adult Analysis of Variance Brain.physiology Brain Mapping Female Humans Magnetic Resonance Imaging Male Multilingualism Neuropsychological Tests Psycholinguistics |
