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 …

Because of enduring experience of managing two languages, bilinguals have been argued
to develop superior executive functioning compared with monolinguals. Despite extensive …

According to some estimates, more than half of the world's population is multilingual to some
extent. Because of the centrality of language use to human experience and the deep …

Bilingualism was once thought to result in cognitive disadvantages, but research in recent
decades has demonstrated that experience with two (or more) languages confers a bilingual …

The hypothesis that managing two languages enhances general executive functioning is
examined. More than 80% of the tests for bilingual advantages conducted after 2011 yield …

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

The question whether being bilingual yields cognitive benefits is highly controversial with
prior studies providing inconsistent results. Failures to replicate the bilingual advantage …

Abstract Language switching has been one of the main tasks to investigate language
control, a process that restricts bilingual language processing to the target language. In the …

Traditional research in bilingualism has consistently found that switching languages is
effortful, placing demands on neural systems of cognitive control. This finding runs counter to …

Drawing on the adaptive control hypothesis (Green & Abutalebi, 2013), we investigated
whether bilinguals' disparate interactional contexts modulate task-switching performance …
