Does having two languages running in one head slow you down, or sharpen you? Ellen Bialystok's decades of research on bilingual cognition found real executive-function advantages, later complicated by replication failures and a messier, more honest picture. This course covers the cognitive science of holding two systems active at once: the constant inhibition of the language not being spoken, and what code-switching actually costs and buys.
