Dear Colleagues,
Are cognitive control and cognitive effort the same thing?
I am confused. In the neuroscientific literature on second language learning, the neural organization of cognitive control and cognitive effort seems to overlap (e.g., the anterior cingulate, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, inferior parietal regions). At the same time, I have come across some results that make me think that cognitive control and cognitive effort are not the same thing.
For instance, I have found fMRI studies that reported increased "cognitive effort" (and therefore more widespread fMRI activation) in less proficient speakers of a second language (e.g., Abutalebi et al. 2018). At the same time, several ERP studies have suggested more "cognitive/language control" in highly proficient second language users. For example, Fernandez et al. (2013) have shown that higher second language proficiency was associated with a greater mean N2 amplitude (greater inhibition) on an executive function test. Another example: Rossi et al (2018) concluded that individuals with high second language proficiency require more cognitive/language control for their first language, even before they speak their second language.
I will greatly appreciate your help.
With my best wishes,
Monika

Cognitive load theory was developed in the late 1980s out of a study of problem solving by John Sweller.[1] Sweller argued that instructional design can be used to reduce cognitive load in learners. Much later, other researchers developed a way to measure perceived mental effort which is indicative of cognitive load.[2][3] Task-invoked pupillary response is a reliable and sensitive measurement of cognitive load that is directly related to working memory.[4] Heavy cognitive load can have negative effects on task completion, and it is important to note that the experience of cognitive load is not the same in everyone. The elderly, students, and children experience different, and more often higher, amounts of cognitive load.

Dear Monika,
I believe that the reasons for understanding the problem you formulated can be found in the book "Awareness? But this is very simple!" ( https://www.ibuk.pl/fiszka/196018/swiadomosc-alez-to-bardzo-proste.html ), in which we explain the structure of the so-called "semblions" (according to Kunjumon Vadakkan Preprint A potential mechanism for the first-person inner sensation o...
), which are mental and neuronal representations of the concepts, models and ideas and which excitation is the basis of thinking. Of course, the suggestions contained therein relate to the problem at a more general level, but I hope that you will be able to translate it into your specific case.The book is unfortunately written in Polish, but judging by the spelling of your name, I hope that you will be able to read the theses presented in there.
