A study conducted at the University of Granada
and the University of York in Toronto, Canada, has revealed that
bilingual children develop a better working memory – which holds,
processes and updates information over short periods of time– than
monolingual children.
The working memory plays a major role in the
execution of a wide range of activities, such as mental calculation
(since we have to remember numbers and operate with them) or reading
comprehension (given that it requires associating the successive
concepts in a text).
