Abstract English is the dominant language in the study of human cognition and behavior: the
individuals studied by cognitive scientists, as well as most of the scientists themselves, are …

There is continuing debate over whether bilingualism can confer advantages in other areas
of cognition. Bilingual language behaviours, such as switching between languages, are …

Theories of speech production have proposed that in contexts where multiple languages are
produced, bilinguals inhibit the dominant language with the goal of making both languages …

The study of the brains' oscillatory activity has been a standard technique to gain insights
into human neurocognition for a relatively long time. However, as a complementary analysis …

Bilinguals have often, but not always, been found to outperform monolinguals on domain-
general attentional control. Inconsistent findings have been argued to stem, at least partly …

The umbrella term cognitive reserve-enhancing factors refers to those experiential and
lifestyle factors (such as intellectual activities, regular physical exercise, healthy nutrition …

The protective effects of multiple language knowledge on the maintenance of cognitive
functions in older adults have been discussed controversially, among others, because of …

Effective communication in multilingual environments requires bilinguals to constantly
monitor linguistic cues. It is hypothesized that the constant need to monitor may result in …

Despite a meteoric rise, results in the cognitive science of bilingualism present with
significant inconsistency. In parallel, there is a striking absence of an ecologically valid …

The aim of the present study was to investigate how resting state EEG rhythms reflect
attentional processes and bilingual experience. We compared alpha and beta rhythms for …
