A new study reports early exposure to a language influences how the brain processes sounds from a second language later in life.
Bilingualism can slow and mitigate the course of age-related changes in the brain.
According to researchers, children raised with parents who speak the same language, but with different accents, recognize words dramatically differently by 12 months of age than those whose parents speak with similar accents. Researchers say the effect of multiple accents should be taken into account when studying monolingual language acquisition.
When it comes to recognizing different human voices, people often have a very hard time, researchers report.
Researchers explore how bilingualism and multilingualism influence the language we dream in.
According to a new study, bilingualism related differences in brain activity can be seen in children as young as 11 months.
A new study reports bilingual people think about time differently depending on the language context they are estimating event duration.
Bilingual people are better able to integrate sight and sound to make sense of speech, a new study reveals. Researchers report, in addition to altering basic sensory experiences, learning a second language can impact memory, decision making and cognitive control.
According to researchers, learning a new language may help improve brain plasticity and information encoding.
According to researchers, bilingual people and trained musicians utilize fewer resources in their brains while completing working memory tasks. As their brains require less effort to perform tasks, researchers speculate this could protect them from the onset of cognitive decline.
A new article questions what gives us purpose in life? Researchers speculate it is our drive to extract meaning from the world around us.
Contrary to popular belief, bilingual children do not have an advantage over monolingual children when it comes to attention and executive function, a new study reports.
