Table 4. Volumetric sensitivity within the cerebellum to performance (ability scores) on the sentence interpretation task.
Effect | Region | Peak | Z | P (FWE corr) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Right hemisphere: | ||||
Condition: | 10mm VOI at x +12 y -64 z -42 | |||
Greek interference vs control: | - | - | - | |
Group: Bilinguals | 9–62–51 | 3.40 | .012 | |
Monolinguals | - | - | - | |
Group x condition interaction | 9–63–51 | 3.87 | .003 | |

Greek interference vs control: | - | - | - | |
Group: Bilinguals | -15–65–48 | 3.47 | .010 | |
Monolinguals | - | - | - | |
Group x condition interaction | -14–65–50 | 4.74 | < .001 |
There were no group differences in grey matter sensitivity to ability scores in the context of English interference and no areas of the cerebellum that showed greater sensitivity to task performance in monolinguals relative to bilinguals.
