Abstract:
One controversial area in bilingualism research concerns the developmental origins of a bilingual cognitive advantage. Young bilinguals have been found to display more advanced executive functioning, specifically regarding inhibitory control (Poulin-Dubois et al., 2011), attentional flexibility (Kovacs & Mehler, 2009; Singh et al., 2015) and emotion regulation (Barker & Bialystok, 2019). In contrast, other studies have failed to find evidence for a bilingual cognitive advantage (e.g., Kalashnikova et al., 2020; Poulin-Dubois et al., 2021; Tsui & Fennell, 2019). These conflicting findings concerning the bilingual cognitive advantage may be partially due to the methodological challenges faced when testing executive functioning in infants and toddlers. Past studies have typically used in-lab tests to assess executive functioning; however, cognitive skills can be difficult to examine among toddlers in lab settings. Toddlers have a limited attention span, and their cognitive skills are unstable, so ...
