Neuroimaging evidence suggests that bilingualism may act as a source of neural plasticity. However, prior work has mostly focused on bilingualism-induced alterations in gray matter volume and white matter tract microstructure, with additional effects related to other neurostructural indices that might have remained undetected.

Alzheimer Disease & Associated Disorders, 2014
The aim of this study was to determine whether bilingualism is associated with dementia in cross-sectional or prospective analyses of older adults.In 1991, 1616 community-living older adults were assessed and were followed 5 years later. Measures included age, sex, education, subjective memory loss (SML), and the modified Mini-mental State Examination (

The Andalusian Bilingual Sections Scheme: Evaluation and Consultancy
2009With around 8m inhabitants, and comprising eight provinces, the southern Spanish region of Andalusia is the largest in the state. In 2005 the Andalusian government launched the Plan de Fomento del Plurilingüismo (Plan to Promote Plurilingualism, henceforth the Plan), with a view to modernising linguistic policies in line with European initiatives ...

Several methodological factors associated with the concurrent activities (finger-tapping) paradigm were considered in a cross-sectional study investigating cerebral patterns of asymmetry in three groups of English-speaking non-Hispanic dextral males at three levels of second language (Spanish) acquisition and one control group of monolinguals.

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) represents an increasingly popular pedagogic approach that has evolved in response to the recognised need for plurilingual competence in Europe. In this article, we present key findings from one of the first large-scale, multidimensional CLIL evaluation projects.

Developmental Neuropsychology
This study investigates executive functions (EFs) and selected developmental factors in 120 children aged 6-11 years. By examining inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility, the research evaluates the potential influences of age, gender, bilingualism, and family income on these EF skills. Tests adapted to Lebanese Arabic were used to assess
