Semantic memory is essential to store knowledge about the world and to determine how to interact with one’s environment. It encompasses several abilities with differing levels of abstraction such as recognizing a tool, its use and its name, which elicit different neuronal activations, respectively. The latter ability, a linguistic ability, targets processes that go beyond simple perceptual processing. To better understand how semantic memory varies with level of abstraction, we tested whether the Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation (FPVS)-oddball paradigm is useful to assess Second Language Acquisition (SLA). Whereas recent findings from cognitive neuroscience showed the efficacy of this paradigm to measure the semantic categorization of images, and L1 (first language) words, to our knowledge no study has used this paradigm to assess L2 (second language) semantic memory. Thus, the first goal of our study is to replicate those findings with adults, and assess whether they extend to children. The second goal of our study is to assess whether the FPVS-oddball paradigm can assess semantic categorization in L2 in adults and children. Our results suggest that we can use the FPVS-oddball paradigm to assess successful L2 learning, as we identify a higher category-selective response after L2 learning compared to prior learning.
