A possible reason being bilingual protects the brain! I know some - TopicsExpress



          

A possible reason being bilingual protects the brain! I know some of the children here are born into families that speak two (or more languages) and even with a speech impairment may want to really debate whether to limit language due to the evidence. And for those of us that only speak one language -perhaps the New Year is a great time to start learning a new language? Happy New Year everyone! . With the help of advanced imaging tools that reveal neural processes in specific brain structures, researchers are coalescing around the idea that fluency in more than one language heightens executive function — the ability to regulate and control cognitive processes. It’s a radical shift from just a few decades ago when psychologists routinely warned against raising children who speak two languages, lest they become confused and suffer delays in learning. https://sciencenews.org/blog/growth-curve/bilingual-brain-prepped-more-second-language?tgt=nr
