The Effects of Bilingualism on Non-Linguistic C. Mattschey**

Springer International Publishing AG

This book examines a century of research on the relationship between bilingualism and intelligence and relates it to more recent research on bilingualism and executive functioning. In doing so, it highlights how bilingualism research has been understood and used by wider society and its impact on current debates in cognitive science as well as language policy and education.\nThe book probes the correlation between the fact that while early intelligence research suggested a negative effect of bilingualism on intelligence, the so-called \""Bilingual Problem\"", later research implied a positive effect, \""the Bilingual Advantage.\"" It questions whether the negative consequences that arose from the Bilingual Problem are influencing researchers' reluctance to let go of the Bilingual Advantage.\n\nThe Effects of Bilingualism on Non-Linguistic Cognition\nA Historic Perspective\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked se;
