Figure 2. ERPs elicited by target words in English control participants, Chinese–English bilinguals, and Chinese participants. Waveforms depict brain potential variations computed via linear derivation from nine central electrodes (FC1, FC2, FCz, C1, C2, Cz, CPI, CP2, CPz) where the effect was maximal. The schematic head shows electrode locations. Shaded areas represent significant differences between conditions, except for the round shaded area, which highlights the overlap between unrelated and negatively primed conditions.
