两项研究报告,评估与老龄化和双语执行控制任务的差异。以前的工作表明,双语者有优势,单语者在非语言任务涉及执行控制,本文的主要目的是确定哪些方面的控制是敏感的双语经验。研究1使用了一个反跳任务,没有发现年龄或双语的影响。研究2使用相同的视觉显示,但结合按键反应。结果表明,双语者比单语者更快地解决各种类型的反应冲突,这种双语优势一般随着年龄的增长而增加。在结论中提供了这种模式的结果的推测性解释。
Two studies are reported that assess differences associated with aging and bilingualism in an executive control task. Previous work has suggested that bilinguals have an advantage over monolinguals in nonlinguistic tasks involving executive control; the major purpose of the present article is to ascertain which aspects of control are sensitive to the bilingual experience. Study 1 used an antisaccade task and found no effects of aging or bilingualism. Study 2 used the identical visual display but coupled to keypress responses. The results showed that bilinguals resolved various types of response conflict faster than monolinguals and that this bilingual advantage generally increased with age. A speculative interpretation of this pattern of results is offered in conclusion.
