How does bilingualism modify cognitive function? Attention to the mechanism
E Bialystok, FIM Craik - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2022 - Springer
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 …

Cognitive control in bilinguals: Proficiency and code-switching both matter
S Kheder, E Kaan - Cognition, 2021 - Elsevier
We examined the impact of bilingualism as a construct of both language usage and
language proficiency on the effectiveness of cognitive control. In particular, we asked …

[HTML][HTML] Functional neural architecture of cognitive control mediates the relationship between individual differences in bilingual experience and behaviour
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 …

Language distance modulates cognitive control in bilinguals
Linguistic processes in the bilingual brain are partially shared across languages, and the
degree of neural overlap between the languages is influenced by several factors, including …
