It has been claimed that bilingual experience leads to an enhancement of cognitive control
across the lifespan, a claim that has been investigated by comparing monolingual and …

It has been proposed that the unique need for early bilinguals to manage multiple
languages while their executive control mechanisms are developing might result in long …

Growing evidence shows that executive functioning benefits from bilingual experience.
However, the nature of the mechanisms underlying this advantage remains to be clarified …

Valian (2014) suggests that the messy state of the literature examining the effects of
bilingualism on executive functioning (EF) stems from lack of clarity in how EFs are defined …

Recent behavioral findings with the AX-Continous Performance Task (AX-CPT; Morales et
al., 2013) show that bilinguals only outperform monolinguals under conditions that require …

Bilinguals must have a mechanism for controlling attention to their two language systems in
order to achieve fluent performance in each language without intrusions from the other. This …

In the keynote article,“Bilingualism and Cognition”, Valian (2014) has reviewed current
research on comparing executive function (EF) in monolingual and bilingual individuals …

The bilingual advantage—enhanced cognitive control relative to monolinguals—possibly
occurs due to experience engaging general cognitive mechanisms in order to manage two …

Several researchers have suggested that learning and using a second language requires
domain-general executive functions, and many have shown that bilinguals outperform …

The bilingual advantage hypothesis is difficult to test for many reasons and one is the
complexity of the executive functioning (EF) construct. The newest wave of meta‐anlayses …
