Second language processing: when are first and second languages processed similarly? (2008, methodology): “This is where using the ERP methodology can help us gain insights into L2 processing that were not possible with more traditional methods for studying L2 (for reviews on the ERP methodology as used in L2 research, see Mueller, 2005; Stowe and Sabourin, 2005).”
The role of L1 and L2 working memory in literal and inferential comprehension in L2 reading (2010, background): “Participants taking the RST in their L2 normally expend their cognitive resources much more than in the L1, as L2 processing is less automatised than that in the L1 (Stowe & Sabourin, 2005).”
Age and Second Language Acquisition and Processing: A Selective Overview (2006, background): “These indexes correspond to increased neural activity in a specified area, and the extra activity could be viewed as evidence that the L2 is being processed with more effort than the L1 (Stowe & Sabourin, 2005 ).”
A Meta‐analysis of Hemodynamic Studies on First and Second Language Processing: Which Suggested Differences Can We Trust and What Do They Mean? (2006, result): “In general, this result is in agreement with previous reviews of bilingual brain activation studies (Abutalebi, Cappa, & Perani, 2001; Stowe & Sabourin, 2005).”
