Examining the effects of active versus inactive bilingualism on executive control in a carefully matched non-immigrant sample (2015, neutral): “Some studies have examined effects of bilingualism in a non-immigrant sample and have found positive effects for healthy adults (e.g., Costa et al., 2008; Bak, Nissan, Allerhand, & Deary, 2014; Woumans, Ceuleers, Van der Linden, Szmalec, & Duyck, 2015) and dementia patients (Alladi et al., 2013,…”
The influence of language-switching experience on the bilingual executive control advantage* (2015, background): “Our results therefore seem to support the suggestion of Costa et al. (2009) that bilingual advantages may not only relate to conflict resolution (Bialystok et al., 2006), but generalise to overall performance (Bialystok et al., 2004; Costa et al., 2008).”
Are there bilingual advantages on nonlinguistic interference tasks? Implications for the plasticity of executive control processes (2011, methodology): “These bilingual advantages on facilitation and interference relative to a neutral condition, however, would not be observed if spatial processing were restricted in advance (Laberge, 1983), as in when targets and distractors occupy fixed regions in a display (Costa et al., 2008).”
The role of componential analysis, categorical hypothesising, replicability and confirmation bias in testing for bilingual advantages in executive functioning (2014, methodology): “A laudable exception to this pattern is that Costa, Hernández, and Sebastián-Gallés (2008) tested 100 participants in each language group.”
The effect of bilingualism and age on inhibitory control (2011, background): “Costa, Hernández, and Sebastián-Gallés (2008) showed that the bilingual advantage can be modified by the characteristics of the tasks.”
Moving toward a neuroplasticity view of bilingualism, executive control, and aging (2014, background): “…for assessing executive control and the kinds of bilinguals tested and how they differ qualitatively and quantitatively (see also Bialystok, 2006; Costa, Hernández, Costa-Faidella, & Sebastián-Gallés, 2009; Costa et al., 2008; Hernández, Costa, Fuentes, Vivas, & Sebastián-Gallés, 2010).”
Bilingualism and working memory capacity: A comprehensive meta-analysis (2017, background): “From this perspective as well, bilinguals should have greater WM capacity than monolinguals because numerous studies have shown that bilinguals are better at controlling attention (Bialystok, 1999; Bialystok et al., 2004; Costa et al., 2008; Hernandez et al., 2010; Soveri et al., 2011).”
Bridging language and attention: Brain basis of the impact of bilingualism on cognitive control (2010, background): “In fact, previous studies have found no switching costs for bilinguals in tasks in which monolinguals did exhibit them (Prior and MacWhinney, 2010; Bialystok and Viswanathan, 2009; Costa et al., 2008).”
Fighting terrorism in Africa: Benchmarking policy harmonization (2018, neutral): “Asongu & Nwachukwu, 2016b) and bilingualism (Costa et al., 2008); the role of good governance (Asongu & Kodila-Tedika, 2016); publicity and press freedom (Hoffman et al.”
The Bilingual Adaptation: How Minds Accommodate Experience (2017, background): “, 2013) and Spain (Costa et al., 2008) are equivalent in nature and degree to effects found in countries where bilinguals are more likely to be immigrants.”
Do Bilinguals Have an Advantage in Theory of Mind? A Meta-Analysis (2018, positive): “This advantage, which is supported by many studies (Bialystok, 1999; Bialystok et al., 2004; Costa et al., 2008), has been communicated to the general public through significant media coverage (Bhattacharjee, 2012; Reville, 2014).”
