Moreover, the amount of IC necessary to maintain an optimal balance is likely to vary across individuals as a function of second language (L2) proficiency and inhibitory capacity, as well as the demands of a particu...

متن کاملLanguage Control in Different Contexts: The Behavioral Ecology of Bilingual Speakers

متن کاملThe relationship between linguistic and non-linguistic cognitive control skills in bilingual children from low socio-economic backgrounds
The present study examined whether linguistic cognitive control skills were related to non-linguistic cognitive control skills in monolingual children (Study 1) and in bilingual children from low socio-economic status (SES) backgrounds (Study 2). Linguistic inhibitory control was measured using a grammaticality judgment (GJ) task in which children judged the grammaticality of sentences while ig...
