Bridging language and attention: Brain basis of the impact of bilingualism on cognitive control (2010, background): “Previous evidence suggests that both alternatives are likely to underlie differences between bilinguals and monolinguals (Bialystok et al., 2005).”
Bilingual language production: The neurocognition of language representation and control (2007, background): “It can also reveal individual differences (e.g., in control processes) where the behavioural response may not differ (see, for example, Bialystok et al. (2005) for differences between bilinguals and monolingualsin the Simon task revealed by MEG but not by behavioural response).”
The role of componential analysis, categorical hypothesising, replicability and confirmation bias in testing for bilingual advantages in executive functioning (2014, methodology): “Bialystok et al. (2005) arrive at a cautious and fair conclusion: “The evidence supports the interpretation that bilinguals perform the Simon task differently frommonolinguals, even when they respond at the same speed, and that the group differences are evident for both congruent and incongruent…”
The Bilingual Adaptation: How Minds Accommodate Experience (2017, methodology): “The more frontal recruitment for bilinguals is similar to the results found by Bialystok et al. (2005b).”
Understanding the Consequences of Bilingualism for Language Processing and Cognition (2013, methodology): “Executive function advantages for bilinguals have been found for tasks involving all of the components of executive function as described by Miyake et al. (2000) and have been demonstrated in behavioural evidence as well as neuroimaging using MEG (Bialystok et al., 2005) and fMRI (e.g., Gold et al.,”
The development of two types of inhibitory control in monolingual and bilingual children* (2008, methodology): “performing the Simon task, monolingual and bilingual participants did not differ in the speed of response but employed different frontal regions (Bialystok et al., 2005).”
