Using fMRI, we conducted two types of property generation task that involved language switching,
with early bilingual speakers of Korean and Chinese. The first is a more conventional task in which a
single language (L1 or L2) was used within each trial, but switched randomly from trial to trial. The
other consists of a novel experimental design where language switching happens within each trial,
alternating in the direction of the L1/L2 translation required. Our findings support a recently
introduced cognitive model, the 'hodological' view of language switching proposed by Moritz-
Gasser and Duffau. The nodes of a distributed neural network that this model proposes are consistent
with the informative regions that we extracted in this study, using both GLM methods and
Multivariate Pattern Analyses: the supplementary motor area, caudate, supramarginal gyrus and
fusiform gyrus and other cortical areas.
