Research suggests we may be predisposed to speak more than one language and that doing so brings health benefits
In a recent study of 600 stroke survivors, cognitive recovery was twice as likely for bilinguals as for monolinguals
In a revealing experiment with his English-German bilingual group, Athanasopoulos got them to recite strings of numbers out loud in either German or English. This effectively “blocked” the other language altogether, and when they were shown the videos of movement, the bilinguals’ descriptions were more action- or goal-focused, depending on which language had been blocked. So, if they recited numbers in German, their responses to the videos were more typically German and goal-focused. When the number recitation was switched to the other language midway, their video responses also switched.
“Bilinguals perform these tasks much better than monolinguals – they are faster and more accurate,” says Athanasopoulos. “And that suggests their executive systems are different from monolinguals.”
