The bilingual advantage in switching: Are two better than one?
Most previous studies of the bilingual advantage analyzed speed and accuracy results from the same task separately. Using this method, some found advantages in switching tasks that favor bilinguals while others have not, and there is ongoing controversy regarding the existence of the bilingual …

Is there a bilingual advantage: testing the role of language mode
Bilingualism refers to an ability to speak two or more languages and the daily experience involved in coordinating these two languages can have a strong effect on bilinguals’ cognition. For decades, research strongly supported the idea of bilingual advantage; however, recent studies have found no …

What Do We Know about the Bilingual Advantage When the Executive Functioning Performance Is Tested Using Auditory Stimuli? A Systematic Review
… there may be processing costs that come with bilingual exposure and proficiency the present review aims to examine studies that assess executive function skills in both monolinguals and bilinguals to better understand how stimuli modality may affect performance and the possible demonstration …

The Relationship between Bilingualism, Cognitive Control, and Mind Wandering
<p>The unique linguistic experience of bilingualism purportedly produces cognitive control advantages. Although there is a significant body of evidence supporting this view, there are also several recently published research studies that failed to replicate bilingual advantages. Furthermore, there …

The Role of the DLPFC in Bilingual and Monolingual Switching: Evidence from MVPA and tDCS
Previous research suggests that the bilingual experience controlling two languages may transfer to non-linguistic control tasks, resulting in a “bilingual advantage.” If this is the case, there should be a neural basis for this transfer (i.e., a region of the brain involved in both types of …

Individual Differences in Multilingualism and Language Learning: Effects on Cognitive Flexibility and Structure Learning
The effects of bilingualism on cognitive control have been significantly debated, with studies reporting both positive and null/negative findings. The lack of consensus is due to inconsistent experimental instantiation of key constructs. Researchers usually employ binary approaches, reducing …

Does bilingualism confer perspective-taking advantages in language use?
The bilingual advantage hypothesis proposes that being bilingual leads to benefits in cognitive abilities that are mediated by superior executive control. Bilingual children demonstrate accelerated mastery of basic cognitive skills such as inhibition control (Carlson & Meltzoff, 2008) and are …

Bilingualism and executive functioning: language experience as more than a binary variable.
The possibility of bilingual advantages in executive functioning has been a matter of debate for some time. One side of the argument claims that certain bilingual experiences lead to practice and therefore improvement in executive control. Others draw attention to a possible publication bias, a …

Prevalence of Autistic-Like Traits in General Population Bilingual and Monolingual Samples and Their Effect on Cognition and Metaphor Processing/Interpretation
Research on bilingualism has shown some advantages in Theory of Mind, in executive functions, and in specific areas of pragmatics. On the other hand, the same areas are often impaired in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Hence, studying bilingualism and ASD symptomatology offers an …

Multilingualism and Diglossia in Hong-Kong Secondary Schools: Switching effects in cognition and language processing
The bilingual advantage in cognitive switching has been extensively documented in the literature (e.g., Bialystok, 2011; Bialystok, 2015). This thesis focuses on the cognitive gains of bilinguals in task-switching, specifically. If we assume that bilinguals outperform monolinguals in non-verbal …

When do dialects become languages? A cognitive perspective
… cognitive effects as is often reported for bilingual speakers of recognised independent languages, based on the principles of Green’s (1998) model of bilingual language control.<br/><br/><b>Study 1</b> investigated whether bidialectal speakers exhibit similar benefits in nonlinguistic …

The effect of monolingualism, bilingualism and trilingualism on executive functioning in young and older adults
Bilinguals have been posited to have, compared to monolinguals, enhanced cognitive control, consequently exhibiting greater cognitive reserve, which is thought to subsequently delay the onset of clinical expression of dementia. Based on recent evidence suggesting that the more languages one manages …
