Bilingualism and Musicianship Enhance Cognitive Control
Learning how to speak a second language (i.e., becoming a bilingual) and learning how to play a musical instrument (i.e., becoming a musician) are both thought to increase executive control through experience-dependent plasticity. However, evidence supporting this effect is mixed for bilingualism and limited for musicianship. In addition, the combined effects of bilingualism and musicianship on...
متن کاملIntroduction to Bilingualism and Cognitive Control
In the past decade, there has been an upsurge of research on bilingualism. A theme in this work is that the bilingual’s two languages are always active, at times converging with one another to produce benefits to comprehension and production, but at other times conflicting, with the requirement to negotiate cross-language competition. A goal in the recent work has been to characterize the cogni...
متن کاملBilingualism and Cognitive Control : The ANT in a Canadian Context
Cognitive control-e.g. the abilities to pay attention to relevant input, to ignore irrelevant input, and to switch between tasks effectively-has recently received much attention in the field of linguistics. In particular, a growing number of studies link the ability to speak two languages with improved cognitive control skills (e. the nature of this bilingual advantage, and whether it truly exi...
متن کاملBilingualism, aging, and cognitive control: evidence from the Simon task.
Previous work has shown that bilingualism is associated with more effective controlled processing in children; the assumption is that the constant management of 2 competing languages enhances executive functions (E. Bialystok, 2001). The present research attempted to determine whether this bilingual advantage persists for adults and whether bilingualism attenuates the negative effects of aging ...
متن کاملLifelong bilingualism maintains neural efficiency for cognitive control in aging.
Recent behavioral data have shown that lifelong bilingualism can maintain youthful cognitive control abilities in aging. Here, we provide the first direct evidence of a neural basis for the bilingual cognitive control boost in aging. Two experiments were conducted, using a perceptual task-switching paradigm, including a total of 110 participants. In Experiment 1, older adult bilinguals showed b...
