  5. 9. Second language proficiency and its effects on cognitive functions: : Relations between bilingualism and tactile and visual versions of the Simon task

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Författare :Nicole Birbas; Linda Terneborg; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Bilingualism; cognitive science; executive functions; Simon effect;

    Sammanfattning : Bilinguals have repeatedly shown to have better results than monolinguals in non-verbal cognitive tasks that require inhibition of distracting stimuli. Evidence suggests that this enhanced performance is due to training effects of non domain specific executive functions, and that this gain in cognitive performance can contribute to a cognitive reserve in old age.
