    "title": "An Investigation of the Multilingual and Bi-dialectal Advantage in Executive\nControl",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "We examined the effect of speaking more than one language\n(multilingualism) or two dialects of the same language (bi-\ndialectalism) on executive control (EC) by administering seven\nEC tasks to 46 multilingual, 72 bi-dialectal and 47 monolingual\nyoung adults. We used the EC model of Miyake, Friedman,\nEmerson, Witzki, Howerter and Wager (2000) according to\nwhich EC comprises three components: working memory,\ntask-switching and inhibition. We also tested two theoretical\nviews regarding the locus of the bilingual advantage: first, that\nbilingualism affects specific EC components and, second, that\nbilingualism has a more general effect on the whole EC\nnetwork. Miyake et al.’s (2000) model was a good fit to our EC\ndata. We also found that both multilinguals and bi-dialectals\nhad significantly higher EC scores than monolinguals.\nMoreover, both the multilingual and the bi-dialectal advantage\nwas found in overall EC ability and could not be attributed to\na specific EC component.",
