Abstract:

This collection brings together two areas of research that are currently
receiving great attention in both scientific and public spheres: cognitive
aging and bilingualism. With ongoing media focus on the aging population and
the need for activities to forestall cognitive decline, experiences that
appear effective in maintaining functioning are of great interest. One such
experience is lifelong bilingualism. Moreover, research into the cognitive
effects of bilingualism has increased dramatically in the past decade, making
it an exciting area of study. This volume combines these issues and presents
the most recent research and thinking into the effects of bilingualism on
cognitive decline in aging. The contributors are all leading scholars in their
field. The result is a state-of-the art collection on the effect of
bilingualism on cognition in older populations for both healthy aging and
aging with dementia. The papers will be of interest to researchers, students,
and health professionals.
