A cross-sectional developmental approach to bilingualism
This article summarises over ten years of research on the effects of multilanguage acquisition on cognitive development (and decline) across the lifespan conducted by our lab. We adopted a developmental approach to research on bilingualism with the aim of building developmental trajectories of components of executive functions and metacognition. We examined the performance of over 900 individuals from the age of 8–80 years, half of them multiling…
Developmental trajectories of control of verbal and non-verbal interference in speech comprehension in monolingual and multilingual children
A developmental approach to bilingual research
Aims and objectives: In this commentary article we consider the benefits of adopting a neuroconstructivist approach in the study of bilingualism in order to promote empirical and theoretical progress on the fiercely debated issue of whether bilingualism confers genuine cognitive advantages. Significance/implications: Although there is a general consensus that exposure to multilingual environments does not impair cognitive development, there are s…
Gender and Ethnic Differences in Survival in a Cohort of HIV Positive Clients
European Americans entered treatment at a much earlier disease stage (as measured by CD4 positive T-lymphocyte counts) and had higher educational levels (a surrogate for socioeconomic status) than African Americans. These factors may explain the longer survival in European Americans as compared to African Americans in this cohort
The measurement of hand preference
Three groups of right-handers were identified using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory. Exclusive strong right-handers (Rs: N = 18) reported that they always used the right hand for eight or more of the 10 activities, and usually used the right hand for the remainder. Exclusive weak right-handers (Rw: N = 15) usually used the right hand for three or more activities, and always used the right hand for the remainder. Predominant right-handers (Rp: …
