Bilingualism, sleep, and cognition
Bilingualism and sleep affect similar cognitive abilities. • Bilingualism and sleep affect similar neural structures. • Bilingualism and sleep both contribute to reserve during aging. • We highlight the need to explore how they interact at neural and cognitive levels. Sleep and language are fundamental to human existence and have both been shown to substantially affect cognitive functioning including memory, attentional performance, and cognitive…
Effects of healthy ageing and bilingualism on attention networks
Both ageing and bilingualism can have positive as well as adverse cognitive effects. We investigated their combined impact on subcomponents of attention. We used the Attention Network Task to examine alerting, orienting, executive control and task-switching costs. Group comparisons revealed age-related declines for alerting alongside benefits for executive control, for mono- and bilinguals alike. For orienting, age-related decline was more pronou…
Bilingualism and ageing independently impact on language processing
To examine the combined effects of ageing and bilingualism in language processing, we tested young and older mono- and bilingual speakers in L1 comprehension and production. In Experiment 1, bilinguals were slower to detect words than monolinguals in sentences with a low-constraint context, but not when a high-constraint context was provided. Older adults tended to outperform younger adults in high-constraint sentences. In Experiment 2, older spe…
Competition between form-related words in bilingual sentence reading
Sentence reading involves constant competition between lexical candidates. Previous research with monolinguals has shown that the neighbours of a read word are inhibited, making their retrieval as a subsequent target more difficult, but the duration of this interference may depend on reading skills. In this study, we examined neighbour priming effects in sentence reading among proficient Norwegian–English bilinguals reading in their L2. We invest…
Generating Spoken Sentences
Producing spoken sentences involves the retrieval, from long‐term memory, of the words that best match the concepts we wish to express and the generation of a syntactic structure that provides an appropriate linear order for these words. Current psycholinguistic models of sentence production overlap greatly in both the representations and processes they postulate but diverge in one central aspect; the relationship they propose to exist between wo…
Mapping the Movement of Invention
The collaborative education research as art created by The (1+1+1) Collective is examined as heuretics, the movement of invention. Heuretics both enacts and documents the movement of the research process and therefore helps balance the biases, which are expressions of power, inherent in the means of expressing any inquiry. This methodology, which acts as a rhizome, offers a model for academic collaboration; it maps the movement of invention by en…
