SUMMARY:CLS Speaker Series - Benjamin Schloss and Ping Li (Penn State University
) Simultaneous Eye-Tracking and fMRI in L1 and L2 Readers of English
DESCRIPTION:Simultaneous Eye-Tracking and fMRI in L1 and L2 Readers of E
nglish \;\n\nThis talk will highlight several ongoing research proje
cts from the Brain\, Language\, and Computation lab which make use of si
multaneous eye-tracking and fMRI\, a recently emerging methodology which
allows researchers to simultaneously collect highly sensitive behaviora
l and neuroimaging data on various language processes in naturalistic re
ading environments. We will discuss how the current methodology makes it
possible to tease apart the neural correlates of different linguistic p
rocesses that are used during reading\, such as the processing of lexica
l variables like word length\, frequency\, concreteness\, and we compare
these results among a population of native English monolingual speakers
and Chinese-English bilinguals. Furthermore\, we discuss results from t
he native English monolinguals which begin to uncover how high level var
iables like reading comprehension modulate the integration of low lexica
l variables into oculomotor commands (predictions about upcoming linguis
tic information). We discuss the findings in light of current\, motor ce
ntric theories of language acquisition. Finally\, we discuss how we are
using these methods to study the basic statistical learning mechanisms t
hat underlie online changes in conceptual representations at the neural
level during reading and then applying these methods to L2 learners to a
ssess comprehension.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu/even
