sarahtoma23 on 17 May 23This article is about a study suggests that bilingualism can possibly decrease chances of getting dementia and cognitive decline in older people. The study was published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging. It hypothesized that because bilingual people can switch between two languages seamlessly, it can be used in multitasking, self-control, emotion management, possibly delaying dementia. However, the study only focused on bilingual people who use two languages everyday for a long time. Because of the different degrees of bilingualism, it's difficult to know if it really can delay dementia.
