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 …

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

Cognitive reserve is characterized by a dissociation between cognitive level and brain
structure, thereby reducing the impact of deteriorating brain structure on cognitive function …

To achieve fluent language processing as a bilingual, a dominant theoretical framework
assumes that the nontarget language is inhibited. This assumption is based on several …

Recent years have marked a renaissance in efforts to increase research reproducibility in
psychology, neuroscience, and related fields. Reproducibility is the cornerstone of a solid …

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 …

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

Background Two-hundred one college undergraduates completed four nonverbal
interference tasks (Simon, spatial Stroop, vertical Stroop, and flanker) and trait scales of self …

An important aim of research on bilingualism is to understand how the brain adapts to the
demands of using more than one language. In this paper, we argue that pursuing such an …

Pupillometry has been widely implemented to investigate cognitive functioning since
infancy. Like most psychophysiological and behavioral measures, it implies hierarchical …
