Table 1.
The three experimental conditions and the corresponding stimuli.
Figure 1.
Mixed against control condition showed increased activity in a network of areas including the left IFG, the precentral gyrus, SMA, the left IPG, the bilateral fusiform gyrus extending to the occipital lobe, as well as the subcortical regions including the left caudate, and the right hippocampus.

Figure 2.
Mixed against L1 Chinese naming condition showed broadly distributed areas falling into two big clusters.
One peaked at the posterior part of the left IFG and extended all over the prefrontal cortex and to the bilateral SMA, left insula, left putamen and right caudate. The other peaked at the left inferior parietal gyrus and extended to the SMG and the Angular and precuneus. (cluster-level FWE corrected, p<0.05).

Figure 3.
Language switching against L2 English naming condition showed activations in the left IFG, the bilateral Precentral gyrus and SMA, the bilateral IPG, the bilateral fusiform, the left lingual gyrus, the left inferior temporal gyrus, and the bilateral hippocampus.
