The Effect of Bilingualism on Child Development. An Investigation in South Tyrol.

Gallerano, Brigitte Heuer

Rassegna Italiana di Linguistica Applicata, v18 n3 p29-62 Sep-Dec 1986

An examination of the influence of early bilingualism (German and Italian) on personality, social behavior, perception, and linguistic competence of four- to six-year-old Italian preschoolers (N=65) found no significant differences in social behavior, but some differences in terms of self-confidence, self-control, memory, and oral skills.
