Abstract

Research on the cognitive outcomes of bilingualism has shown mixed results in the literature. It is reviewed in this article that early studies have suggested that bilingualism is deleterious to speakers’ cognitive ability, whereas more recent works have indicated that bilingualism is beneficial to speakers’ ability in metalinguistic awareness, problem solving and, most importantly, attentional control.
