Immigration modulates audiovisual emotional processing in adults: is this really an influence of the host culture? by Anna K. Nakamura, Anna K. Nakamura, Hisako W. Yamamoto, Hisako W. Yamamoto, Sachiko Takagi, Tetsuya Matsuda, Hiroyuki Okada, Chiaki Ishiguro, Chiaki Ishiguro, Akihiro Tanaka

“…Additionally, immigrants with a longer stay showed a higher response in the posterior superior temporal gyrus, a brain region associated with audiovisual emotional integration, when processing emotionally congruent faces and voices.DiscussionThese modifications imply that immigrants from Western cultures tend to rely even less on voices, in contrast to the tendency of voice-dominance observed in native Japanese people. This change may be explained by the decreased focus on prosodic aspects of voices during second language acquisition. …”
