Is there a Bilingual Advantage?

Speaker: Dr. Brianna Yamasaki

Dr. Yamasaki will discuss the bilingual advantage, or the idea that speaking multiple languages leads to cognitive and academic benefits. We’ll take a look at how these claims hold up under scientific scrutiny and ask: Is being bilingual really a mental superpower, or is the story more complex?
