How balanced are you? Bilingualism and the development of attentional control in English-Mandarin preschool children by Chan, Clara Gek Hoon

“…We contend that, due to the differences in the contexts that a more-balanced bilingual experiences as compared to a less-balanced bilingual, the cognitive demands differ between them and therefore the more-balanced bilingual will have higher cognitive control than the less-balanced bilingual. …”
