Research Abstract

Until now, behavioral data on a bilingual advantage in executive function has not yet been clearly supported by neuroimaging. Proven existence could have profound implications for neurodegenerative disease treatment and/or provide justification for reform of second and foreign language education. Differential brain activation (or lack thereof) between subjects of differing English proficiency could help shed light on this contentious subject.
