Changes in Executive Function over Time in Bilingual and Monolingual School-Aged Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Park, Jisook; Ellis Weismer, Susan; Kaushanskaya, Margarita – Developmental Psychology, 2018
We examined the development of 3 executive function (EF) components--inhibition, updating, and task shifting--over time in monolingual and bilingual school-age children. We tested 41 monolingual and 41 simultaneous bilingual typically developing children (ages 8-12) on nonverbal tasks measuring inhibition (the Flanker task), updating (the Corsi…

Formal thought disorder (FTD) is a disruption in the flow of thought and a common feature in psychotic disorders and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Executive dysfunction has often been associated with FTD, yet for ASD convincing evidence is lacking. This study investigated FTD and three core executive functions in 50 young children and…
