dc.description.abstractBilingualism is a typical linguistic experience, yet relatively little is known about its impact on children’s cognitive and brain development. Theories of bilingualism suggest that early dualâ language acquisition can improve children’s cognitive abilities, specifically those relying on frontal lobe functioning. While behavioral findings present much conflicting evidence, little is known about its effects on children’s frontal lobe development. Using functional nearâ infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), the findings suggest that Spanishâ English bilingual children (n = 13, ages 7â 13) had greater activation in left prefrontal cortex during a nonâ verbal attentional control task relative to ageâ matched English monolinguals. In contrast, monolinguals (n = 14) showed greater right prefrontal activation than bilinguals. The present findings suggest that early bilingualism yields significant changes to the functional organization of children’s prefrontal cortex for attentional control and carry implications for understanding how early life experiences impact cognition and brain development.This fNIRS study investigated the impact of bilingual exposure on children’s brain organization for attentional control (N = 27, ages 7â 13). During a nonâ verbal attention task, bilinguals showed greater left frontal lobe activation than monolinguals. Monolinguals showed greater right frontal lobe activation than bilinguals. The findings suggest that bilingualism affects the functionality of children’s left prefrontal cortex for attentional control.
