Therefore, it is no wonder that so many people seek out the opportunity to learn and teach others new languages; it allows us to connect with more people across the globe. Despite this, it was widely believed in scientific circles that bilingualism was a disadvantage-something that might slow down the developing brain-rather than a social and cognitive advantage. Bilingualism and Cognitive Ageing: Does learning a new language help prevent cognitive ageing? strives to examine the recent research that disproves this out-dated theory, with a focus on how bilingualism affects our cognitive ageing. Our discussion begins with an exploration of the history of research on the cognitive effects of bilingualism and ends with a look at the common misconceptions that people hold and how they may be supported by popular culture. Along the way, the connection between specific ages and bilingualism-including when to learn a language-the effects that bilingualism has on the brain, and the most influential studies and scientists that have brought us to these conclusions will also be discussed. Bilingualism and Cognitive Ageing: Does learning a new language help prevent cognitive ageing? is a brief exploration that strives to educate the general reader on the history and science behind bilingualism and cognitive ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46450386862231,"sku":"9781773696164","price":1605.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781773696164.webp?v=1769149883","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bilingualism-and-cognitive-ageing-does-learning-a-new-language-help-prevent-cognitive-ageing-9781773696164","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
