Are there bilingual advantages on nonlinguistic interference tasks? Implications for the plasticity of executive control processes (2011, methodology): “One of these studies (Bialystok et al. 2004; and see Bialystok, Martin, & Viswanathan, 2005, for additional discussion of these data) was a seminal investigation in this area, because of its report of significant advantages on the Simon effect for bilinguals relative to monolinguals.”
Executive control in bilinguals: A concise review on fMRI studies. (2016, neutral): “Luk and colleagues considered these effects as evidence for a more distributed functional connectivity, which they linked to the documented structural connectivity, and they interpreted both effects as evidence for the ‘cognitive reserve’ associated with bilingual experience (Bialystok et al., 2012)”
Effect of bilingualism on cognitive control in the Simon task: evidence from MEG (2005, background): “The results showed faster reaction times for bilinguals in three of those groups; only the young adults produced equal response times by monolingual and bilingual participants ( Bialystok et al., 2004, in press ).”
Bilingual Minds (2009, methodology): “Two final results from this study were that this bilingual advantage disappeared by the third block of trials (cf. Bialystok et al., 2004, Study 3) and that bilinguals had smaller switching costs between congruent and incongruent trials, a point to which we will return.”
A working memory, not bilingual advantage, in controlled attention (2010, background): “A bilingual advantage in CA has been observed across the lifespan on a variety of different tasks (Bialystok 1999; Bialystok et al. 2004; Bialystok and Martin 2004; Bialystok and Senman 2004; Bialystok and Shapero 2005).”
Ensuring language acquisition for deaf children: What linguists can do (2014, background): “…creative thinking in problem solving, and better mental flexibility and cognitive control that persists through late adulthood, is firm (Cummins &Gulustan 1974, Prinz&Strong 1998, Bialystok et al. 2004, Baker 2006, Lightbown&Spada 2006, Bialystok et al. 2007, Kushalnagar, Hannay, & Hernandez 2010).”
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Cognitive Correlates of Bilingualism (2010, background): “Conversely, bilinguals’ well-developed ability to inhibit one language while using the other may increase the efficiency of their working memory capacity because working memory resources are properly managed through such inhibitory processing (Bialystok et al., 2004; Bialystok, Craik, & Luk 2008; Fe”
Biculturalism and Cognitive Complexity (2006, background): “For example, some studies have found biculturals to have relatively more complex parental reasoning about child development (Gutierrez & Sameroff, 1990), increased creativity (Carringer, 1974), and greater attentional control (Bialystok, 1999; Bialystok et al., 2004).”
Examining the effects of active versus inactive bilingualism on executive control in a carefully matched non-immigrant sample (2015, neutral): “Bialystok et al. (2004) compared Canadian monolinguals to Indian bilinguals.”
