这篇文章报道了一项研究，调查了双语如何影响人的一生中的认知和语言表现。总的来说，双语似乎既有好处，也有代价。在成本方面，双语者的正式语言熟练程度通常低于单语者；例如，他们的词汇量较小，获得词汇项目的机会也较少。然而，双语者的好处是，在需要解决冲突的非语言任务中，如Stroop和Simon任务，双语者表现出更强的执行控制能力。对这些模式及其后果进行了说明和讨论。我们还就这些效应的潜在机制提出了一些建议。
The article reports research investigating the way bilingualism affects cognitive and linguistic performance across the life span. In general, bilingualism appears to have both benefits and costs. Regarding costs, bilinguals typically have lower formal language proficiency than monolinguals do; for example, they have smaller vocabularies and weaker access to lexical items. The benefits, however, are that bilinguals exhibit enhanced executive control in nonverbal tasks requiring conflict resolution, such as the Stroop and Simon tasks. These patterns and their consequences are illustrated and discussed. We also propose some suggestions regarding underlying mechanisms for these effects.
