Bilingualism: Consequences for Mind and Brain (2012, background): “[42] calculated medium to large effect sizes for the executive control advantages in bilingual children and Hilchey and Klein [43] summarized the bilingual advantage over a large number of studies with adults.”
English Language Learners and Academic Achievement: Revisiting the Threshold Hypothesis (2012, background): “At the same time, a number of researchers (e.g., Adesope et al., 2010; Lee & Schallert, 1997) have called for expanding research on the correlates of bilingualism to immigrant L2 learners for three reasons: (a) demographic changes and increased instances of bilingualism and multilingualism in the…”
Bilingualism and cognition (2014, background): “Adesope et al. (2010), for example, concluded that the effect size in favor of a bilingual advantage for what they called attentional control, which is similar to executive function, was the largest of all the effect sizes they calculated.”
Bilingualism and working memory capacity: A comprehensive meta-analysis (2017, background): “A 2010 meta-analysis examining the relationship between bilingual status and executive function (EF) tasks revealed that bilinguals outperformed monolinguals on a range of EF tasks, including tasks that tapped WM processes (Adesope et al., 2010).”
More Than the Sum of Its Parts: A Transformative Theory of Biculturalism (2017, background): “…bilingualism researchers generally favor process-oriented interpretations of such findings, with the most popular being that bilinguals’ repeated switching between language systems causes these benefits (Adesope et al., 2010; Alladi et al., 2013; Bialystok, 2001; Bialystok, Craik, & Luk, 2012).”
Are there bilingual advantages on nonlinguistic interference tasks? Implications for the plasticity of executive control processes (2011, background): “If, however, an experimental design obtaining a purer measure of sequencing effects in the context of the conflictmonitoring theory were to be implemented, and if it were to show this advantage on sequencing effects, there would be some preliminary evidence that might begin to account for a body of ”
The effect of bilingualism on creativity: Developmental and educational perspectives (2013, background): “Moreover, limited attention has been paid to the influence of bilingualism on creativity in solving problems (Adesope et al., 2010; Bialystok, 2009; Ricciardelli, 1992a; Simonton, 2008).”
