Learning and using multiple languages places major demands on our neurocognitive
system, which can impact the way the brain processes information. Here we investigated …

There is substantial evidence that learning and using multiple languages modulates
selective attention in children. The current study investigated the mechanisms that drive this …

Auditory processing is presumed to be influenced by cognitive processes–including
attentional control–in a top-down manner. In bilinguals, activation of both languages during …

We investigated the impact of early childhood and adulthood bilingualism on the attention
system in a group of linguistically and culturally homogeneous children (5-and 6-year olds) …

Dual language experience has typically been shown to improve various executive control
functions. We investigated with event-related brain potentials (ERPs) recorded from early …

Attention is required during speech perception to focus processing resources on critical
information. Previous research has shown that bilingualism modifies attentional processing …

A large body of literature suggests that bilingualism strongly influences attentional
processes among a variety of age groups. Increasing studies, however, indicate that culture …

Previous studies have demonstrated a bilingual advantage in the efficiency of executive
attention. A question remains, however, about the impact of the age of L2 acquisition and …

The human capacity to master multiple languages is remarkable and leads to structural and
functional changes in the brain. Understanding how the brain accommodates multiple …

For a bilingual human, every utterance requires a choice about which language to use. This
choice is commonly regarded as part of general executive control, engaging prefrontal and …
