Bilingualism and Cognition
Bilingualism and Cognition Across Lifespan
In this course we will discuss an interplay between bilingualism and cognitive processes throughout the human lifespan. Through discussions of empirical papers and demonstrations, we will explore how learning two or more languages shapes cognitive development from young ages to adulthood. The topics that we will cover include the bilingual advantage debate with respect to memory, attention, cognitive control and language, as well as bilingual language disorders and cognitive decline (PSYC majors only, others by waiver) 3 hrs. sem.
