Bilingualism and the brain: How language shapes our ability to process information


Singapore Management University


There, speaking two languages is limited mostly to those with high socioeconomic status. I study bilingual children, and sometimes even infants raised in a bilingual context. advertisement Professor Yang’s work with children has already seen results, however. Professor Yang found that low socioeconomic status children who spoke two languages performed much better in behavioural tests than their monolingual counterparts. Surprisingly, we found that even bilingual infants from low socioeconomic status demonstrated greater cognitive development than monolingual infants of the same status.
