TL;DR: This study addressed how bilingual speakers switch between their first and second language when speaking by measuring event-related brain potentials and naming latencies and revealing small but reliable effects of cognate status.

TL;DR: A considerable degree of overlap is demonstrated between the medial frontal areas involved in eye gaze processing and theory of mind tasks and a PET study that controls for these factors is presented.

TL;DR: This paper examined performance on basic language and working memory tasks that have been hypothesized to engage cognitive skills important for simultaneous interpreting and found that trained interpreters outperformed the university students in their speed and accuracy of language performance and on their memory capacity estimated from a set of working memory measures.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the anterior cingulate cortex, which is often implicated in error‐processing and conflict‐monitoring, is also engaged in ongoing speech monitoring and a reduced response to speaking under normal feedback conditions is found in the superior temporal gyrus.

TL;DR: It is concluded that overt speech production can be successfully studied using electrophysiological measures, for instance, event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and whether the ERP components in language production are comparable to results from other fields.
