Behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) measures are reported for a study in which
relatively proficient Chinese–English bilinguals named identical pictures in each of their two …

In an ongoing debate, bilingual research currently discusses whether bilingualism enhances
non-linguistic executive control. The goal of this study was to investigate the influence of …

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 …

A growing body of research shows that the brain adapts functionally and structurally to
specific bilingual experiences. These brain adaptations seem related to modulations in …

Several studies have suggested a bilingual advantage in executive functions, presumably
due to bilinguals' massive practice with language switching that requires executive …

Controlling multiple languages during speech production is believed to rely on functional
mechanisms that are (at least partly) shared with domain-general cognitive control in early …

Bilingual older adults typically have better performance on tasks of executive control (EC)
than do their monolingual peers, but differences in brain activity due to language experience …

Several investigations report a positive effect of childhood bilingualism on executive control
(EC). An issue that has remained largely unexamined is the role of the typological distance …

The potential effects of bilingualism on executive control (EC) have been heavily debated.
One possible source of discrepancy in the evidence may be that bilingualism tends to be …
