A Semantic Model to Study Neural Organization of Language in Bilingualism
Figure 6
Some snapshots of the model response at some instant of the simulations, performed when the object (i.e., its four features) is given as input to the network. Simulations are the same as in Figure 5, with the same meaning of figures, but in this case we assumed that a strong top-down inhibitory input (from a higher control center) targets all L1 words. It is noticeable that, in this situation, the object representation can evoke the L2 word, but with a different level of activation depending on the proficiency level.
