Abstract
The bilingual advantage in human cognition is a topic of much debate in psycholinguistic academic circles. After the initial negative opinion of academia on bilingualism, studies which implemented improved methodologies demonstrated that the use of two (or more) languages has favourable effects across many domains of human life, including cognition. It has been suggested that bilingualism positively affects executive functions, cognitive development, and that it delays the onset of neurodegenerative disorders such as dementia. On the other hand, many scientists regularly find methodological flaws in previous studies. Because of this, they continue to challenge the concept of the bilingual advantage. In an increasingly bilingual world, it is important to strive to definite conclusions which would shed light on the intricate connection between bilingualism and human cognition. By examining an extensive body of research, this review aims to explore the influence of bilingualism on human cognition.
Abstract (croatian)
Pozitivan utjecaj dvojezičnosti na kognitivne sposobnosti čovjeka tema je žustrih debata u akademskim krugovima psiholingvista. Nakon početnog, negativnog stava akademske zajednice o dvojezičnosti, istraživanja u kojima je primijenjena poboljšana metodologija ukazala su na to da uporaba dva (ili više) jezika ima blagotvoran učinak na mnoge vidove ljudskog života, uključujući i kognitivne sposobnosti. Rezultati tih istraživanja sugeriraju da dvojezičnost pozitivno utječe na izvršne funckije, kognitivni razvoj te da odgađa nastup neurodegenerativnih poremećaja poput demencije. S druge strane, mnogi znanstvenici pronalaze metodološke nedostatke prijašnjih istraživanja. Upravo zbog toga oni i dalje osporavaju ideju prednosti dvojezičnosti. U svijetu u kojemu je dvojezičnost sve češća pojava važno je stremiti nedvosmislenim zaključcima koji će pojasniti složenu vezu između dvojezičnosti i kognitivnih sposobnosti. Cilj ovog preglednog rada jest istražiti utjecaj dvojezičnosti na ljudske kognitivne sposobnosti kroz pregled brojnih istraživanja.
