Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that bilingual students tend to have better executive function skills, such as cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control, which can also lead to improved theory of mind abilities (understanding others' thoughts and emotions). They may also have a greater understanding and appreciation of different cultures. There is no evidence to suggest that being bilingual leads to language delays or loss of language, and while some studies have found a link between bilingualism and improved mathematical reasoning, it is not as strong as the link to executive function skills.
