The Psychology of Bilingualism is an in-depth conversation between Howard Burton and Ellen Bialystok, Professor of Psychology at York University, and a world-leading expert on the effects of bilingualism on cognitive processes across our lifespan.
Ellen Bialystok talks about how she discovered differences in the development of essential cognitive and language abilities for bilingual children, the use of different brain networks by monolingual and bilingual young adults performing simple conflict tasks, and the postponement of symptoms of dementia in bilingual older adults, and many more fascinating aspects of bilingualism.
