Title: Bilingualism: Consequences for Mind and Brain

Abstract: A growing body of research points to a significant effect of bilingualism on cognitive outcomes across the lifespan. The main finding is evidence for the         enhancement of executive control at all stages in the lifespan, with the most dramatic results being maintained cognitive performance in elderly adults, and protection against the onset of dementia. I will review evidence from both behavioral and imaging studies and propose a framework for understanding the         mechanism that could lead to the reported consequences of bilingualism and the limitation or absence of these effects under some conditions.

Les prochaines conférences auront lieu les :

- 6 mai de 10h à 12h : Bilingualism as a factor in children's cognitive development 
- 7 mai de 14h à 16h : ERP studies of lexical processing in bilinguals
- 13 mai de 10h à 12h : Bilingualism and aging
