Description
Normal human aging is associated with decline of executive control functions. Recent evidence
suggests that bilingualism may attenuate some of these age-related declines by promoting
neuroplasticity and/or compensatory brain reserve. By providing a more precise understanding of the
mechanisms that are bolstered by bilingualism, the present proposal will help identify
cognitive/neurobiological variables that are malleable in response to cognitive training and
rehabilitation in aging.
