Abstract For bilinguals, speaking in a second language (L2) compared to the native (L1) is usually more difficult. In this study we asked whether difficulty L2 production reflects increased demands imposed on domain-general or core mechanisms. We brain response speech L1 and within two functionally-defined networks brain: Multiple Demand (MD) network network. found that was linked widespread increase of activity MD The did not show similarly robust differences processing languages, however, language-specific portion left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). To further explore our results, have looked at structures postulated form Bilingual Language Control (BLC) Within network, domain-general, but also some voxels including IFG. Our findings strongly engages mechanisms, only affects sensitive portions These results put constraints current model bilingual control by precisely disentangling contributions L2.

The ability to reason about the physical world is a critical tool in human cognitive toolbox, but nature of representations that mediate reasoning remains debated. Here, we use fMRI illuminate this question by investigating relationship between physical- system and two well-characterized systems: a) domain-general Multiple Demand (MD) system, which supports abstract reasoning, including mathematical logical b) language linguistic computations has been hypothesized some forms thought. We replicate prior findings network frontal parietal areas are robustly engaged identify an additional physical-reasoning area left cortex, also houses components MD systems. Critically, direct comparisons with tasks target systems reveal overlaps dissociable from it fine-grained activation patterns, replicates work. Moreover, does not overlap system. These results suggest rely on representations, nor exclusively domain- general supports.
