Kenneth Paap

The Bilingual Advantage in Executive Functioning Hypothesis (eBook, ePUB)

How the debate provides insight into psychology's replication crisis

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This ground-breaking book explores one of the liveliest debates in bilingualism and cognitive psychology. It examines the hypothesis that using two languages leads to enhancement of domain-general executive functioning (EF) and argues that either the bilingual advantage does not exist or is restricted to very specific circumstances.
