What the Bilingual Brain Can Tell Us About Language, Reading and Cognitive Development
Language is one our most quintessential "human"
faculties, and the origins of this capacity, both in ontogeny and
phylogeny, continue to be among the most hotly debated questions in
neuroscience, psychology and linguistics. What neural systems support
the capacity for language across the lifespan? What is the biological
basis of these neural systems? Can experience change their
development? How? When? Why? Using the bilingual brain, and innovative
advances in statistics and modeling, as a lens into these questions,
we track the development of neural sites and systems that make
possible our species' capacity for language, and in turn, reading. We
show how language experience and, crucially, the age of experience
changes the neural systems underlying language, reading and higher
cognition, and the degree with which these systems are lateralized to
the left hemisphere. I will highlight future research directions that
combine functional neuroimaging, DNA genotyping and behavioral studies
with computational modeling in order to provide new insights in the
functional organization and development of the human brain.
