open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1561, Issue 1, July 2026.
Earlier research showed enhanced metacognitive efficiency in bilinguals in language tasks (activities that rely on the cognitive machinery employed for language processing). We investigated whether this advantage extends to heritage language speakers. We did not observe better local metacognition in heritage language speakers.

open access: yesReview of Education, Volume 13, Issue 2, August 2025.
