Bilingual experience modulates the embodiment of emotive concepts in non-native language
Language, Cognition and Neuroscience . 2026. Vol. 0. No. 0. P. 1–23.
This study explores the influence of proficiency, exposure, immersion, age of acquisition, and reduced emotional resonance on sensorimotor biases in first- (L1) and second-language (L2) processing of the emotive lexicon. Eighty-five bilingual students rated positively and negatively valenced words in L1 (Russian) and L2 (English). Our analysis showed facilitated reaction times (RTs) in congruent (e.g., positively valenced words + right-hand response, negatively valenced words + left hand) vs. incongruent conditions in both languages, confirming the presence of sensorimotor biases in L1 and L2 emotive lexicons. However, slower RTs in L2 attenuated by proficiency, exposure, and immersion, demonstrated a lesser degree of sensorimotor activation. Furthermore, reduced emotional resonance attenuated the sensorimotor activation in L2, slower RTs being associated with higher reduced emotional resonance. The present results indicate stronger sensorimotor activations accompanying words in L1 vs. L2, emphasising the role of individual differences in conceptualisation of emotive words in bilingual language use.

Context and relevance. Category learning plays a key role in cognitive development from infancy. In the process of category learning, adults tend to use selective attention, focusing on the main features of objects, while children use distributed attention, analyzing multiple features simultaneously. The use of selective attention can lead to learning difficulties in new conditions, where ...

Introduction:
While self-referential attention is thought to enhance interoceptive sensitivity, its effect on cardiac modulation of corticospinal excitability remains unexplored. This pilot study investigated how viewing one’s own face (self-face processing) modulates the cardiac-phase coupling of motor output and whether this heart-brain coupling depends on interoceptive accuracy (heartbeat perception).
Methods:
In 15 healthy adults, motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) were ...

Introduction. Video games constitute a special form of digital media characterized by dynamic environments that respond to players’ actions and integrated algorithms. Within psychological research, video games offer better validity compared to traditional automated assessment systems, enabling a naturalistic investigation of various phenomena. Furthermore, video games shape mental processes. These features are widely exploited in international psychological research and are critical ...

Existing research indicates involvement of brain systems underpinning spatial abilities in processing emotive semantics in L1: positive emotions are associated with the right part of space, negative ones with the left. Some suggest similar sensorimotor activations in L1 and L2. Others indicate attenuated processing of L2 emotional words. Aims: We investigated differences in sensorimotor biases ...

Models of experience-dependent neuroplasticity predict that the acquisition and extensive use of a new skill trigger a nonlinear trajectory of neurostructural modifications, where initial expansion of relevant brain areas subsequently (once the skill is acquired) gives way to volumetric renormalization. Such predictions also apply in the domain of language during learning and/or simultaneous management of ...

Research addressing the imbalance between aural and written modalities has suggested that consistent language practice involving reading and writing activities enhances lexical access through that specific modality. In individuals with well-developed reading skills, word meaning is accessed through the parallel activation of orthographic and phonological lexicons. Conversely, in individuals with poor reading skills, the orthographic ...
