Variability in the effects of bilingualism on cognition: It is not just about cognition, it is also about bilingualism

Margarita Kaushanskaya, Anat Prior

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/Debate

Abstract

Valian (2014) suggests that themessy state of the literature examining the effects of bilingualism on executive functioning (EF) stems from lack of clarity in how EFs are defined and measured, and from lack of control over other factors that can modulate EF. We argue that the lack of clarity in how bilingualism is defined and measured is no less problematic. We focus our commentary on two related issues. copy; Cambridge University Press 2014.
