Submitted Talk · Sunday, May 25, 2025 · 9:15 AM – 9:30 AM ET

Subject Area: Cognitive

Exposure to language-switching practice enhances prospective monitoring in prospective memory tasks, reflected in increased ERP amplitudes (e.g., N300, frontal positivity) associated with cognitive control. However, it does not affect retrospective intention retrieval (e.g., P3b, frontal slow waves). These findings highlight the selective impact of language-switching practice on prospective memory processes.
