Building on earlier evidence showing a beneficial effect of bilingualism on children's
cognitive development, we review recent studies using both behavioral and neuroimaging …

Previous research has found an advantage for bilinguals relative to monolinguals on tasks
of attentional control. This advantage has been found to be larger in older adults than in …

An advantage for bilingual relative to monolingual young adults has been found for cognitive
control tasks, although this finding is not consistent in the literature. The present …

We investigated the impact of contextual constraint on the integration of novel word
meanings into semantic memory. Adults read strongly or weakly constraining sentences …

The impact of bilingualism on the microstructure of the white matter pathways related to
language processing is assessed in elementary school children by magnetic resonance …

Parallel language activation in bilinguals leads to competition between languages.
Experience managing this interference may aid novel language learning by improving the …

We examined how words from bilingual toddlers' second language (L2) primed recognition
of related target words in their first language (L1). On critical trials, prime–target word pairs …

Brain imaging studies have identified a left‐lateralized network of regions that are engaged
when monolinguals read. However, for individuals who are native speakers of two …

Although bilingual children tend to obtain lower scores than their monolingual peers on tests
of formal language ability, they exhibit a processing advantage on non-verbal executive …

Although all bilinguals encounter cross-language interference (CLI), some bilinguals are
more susceptible to interference than others. Here, we report on language performance of …
