decades has demonstrated that experience with two (or more) languages confers a bilingual …

There is considerable debate about whether bilingual children have an advantage in
executive functioning relative to monolingual children. In the current meta-analysis, we …

Several researchers have suggested that learning and using a second language requires

A contentious issue in contemporary psycholinguistics is whether bilingualism enhances
executive functions. Here, we report a meta-analysis of 80 studies (253 effect sizes) …

Debate continues on whether a bilingual advantage exists with respect to executive
functioning. This report synthesized the results of 170 studies to test whether the bilingual …

A large body of research has indicated that bilingualism–through continual practice in
language control–may impact cognitive functions, as well as relevant aspects of brain …

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 …

We used insights from machine learning to address an important but contentious question: Is
bilingual language experience associated with executive control abilities? Specifically, we …

The bilingual advantage hypothesis contends that the management of two languages in the
brain is carried out through domain‐general mechanisms, and that bilinguals possess a …
