Results of the analysis of the relationship between rs connectivity changes and L2 changes (complexity, accuracy, fluency). Beta-band connectivity changes and L2 changes in fluency were significantly related. Left: Cross-subject correspondence between weighted connectivity scores in beta-band and L2 change in fluency. Right: The 30 strongest edges contributing to this relationship, visualized as in Fig. 2. Blue indicates a decrease in respective L2 performance with stronger connectivity, while red indicates an increase in L2 performance.* Adjusted R-squared and p-values as estimated in the PC-based stepwise regression models (see “Results” and Supplementary Material Tables ST3-4 for details). All relationships depicted also survived permutation testing as a second criterion to establish statistical significance (p < .05).
