BILINGUALS: BETTER
Speaking2 languages would provide cognitive advantages not necessarily related to
language. Until recently, researchers and educators believed that a second language
was -cognitively speaking-an interference which could difficult the academic and intellectual development
of a child. And there is ample evidence that in a bilingual brain while both sets of languages are active, one language obstructs the other. Interference that
on the other hand, forces the brain to resolve internal conflicts expeditiously
and effectively. According to Ellen Bialystok and Michelle Martin-Rhee, bilingual
preschoolers are more efficient and faster when solving mental puzzles. Bilinguals has a better brain executive function, who runs processes such as
planning, problem solving and carrying out excruciating mental tasks. Processes that need
to be always focused and ignore distractions.
Bilinguals always maintain adequate information in their minds (they remember sequence
of directions while driving). Previously it was thought that one language
system is inhibited. Inadequate explanation because bilinguals outperform monolinguals even in tasks
that not require inhibition. The key difference between bilingual and monolingual
is that the former monitor better their environment. While both languages are
alternated
at high speed in bilinguals, to monitor such processes are like looking around
while driving. In a recent study of 44 elderly bilingual (Spanish-English), led
by the neuropsychologist Tamar Gollan (University of California/San Diego), was
found that high levels of bilingualism produce people more
resistant to onset of dementia and other symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
BILINGUES:MEJORES
Los bilingües
siempre mantienen la información
adecuada en sus mentes (recordar secuencia de direcciones mientras se maneja). Antes se pensaba que un bilingüe inhibia uno
de sus sistemas de lenguaje ; explicacion inadecuada porque los bilingues se comportan mejor que los monolingues aun en tareas que no requieren inhibicion. La
diferencia clave entre bilingues y monolingues es que los primeros monitorean mejor
su medio ambiente. En tanto los bilingues alternan ambos idiomas a gran velocidad, estos procesos
equivalen a monitorear los alrededores
mientras se conduce. En un reciente estudio de 44 adultos mayores bilingües (Español-Ingles),
conducido por el neuropsicologo Tamar Gollan (University of California/San Diego),
se descubrió que
altos grados de bilingualismo producían personas mas resistentes al inicio de la demencia y otros sintomas de la enfermedad de Alzheimer.
