最近的研究,主要使用视觉任务,表明早期双语者往往优于单语者的注意力测试。目前尚不清楚这些优势是否延伸到那些在以后的生活中学习第二语言的双语者身上。我们在38名单语大学生和60名双语大学生中研究了这个问题。双语组进一步细分为早期儿童(ECB),晚期儿童(LCB)和早期成年双语者(EAB)。该评估包括来自临床验证的日常注意力测试(TEA)的五个子测试。总体而言,双语者在听觉注意力测试中优于单语者,但在视觉搜索任务中则不然。后一个观察结果表明,双语者和单语者之间的差异是具体的,而不是由于双语者的认知表现普遍较高。在双语组中,ECB在注意转换上表现出较大的优势,LCB/EAB在选择性注意上表现出较大的优势。我们的结论是,双语的影响延伸到听觉领域,并不局限于儿童双语,虽然他们的范围可能略有不同,在早期和晚期双语。
Recent studies, using predominantly visual tasks, indicate that early bilinguals tend to outperform monolinguals on attention tests. It remains less clear whether such advantages extend to those bilinguals who have acquired their second language later in life. We examined this question in 38 monolingual and 60 bilingual university students. The bilingual group was further subdivided into early childhood (ECB), late childhood (LCB), and early adulthood bilinguals (EAB). The assessment consisted of five subtests from the clinically validated Test of Everyday Attention (TEA). Overall, bilinguals outperformed monolinguals on auditory attention tests, but not on visual search tasks. The latter observation suggests that the differences between bilinguals and monolinguals are specific and not due to a generally higher cognitive performance in bilinguals. Within the bilingual group, ECB showed a larger advantage on attention switching, LCB/EAB on selective attention. We conclude that the effects of bilingualism extend into the auditory domain and are not confined to childhood bilinguals, although their scope might be slightly different in early and late bilinguals.
