dc.description.abstract | No two bilinguals are the same. Differences in bilingual experiences can affect
language-related processes but have also been proposed to modulate executive functioning. Recently,
there has been an increased interest in studying individual differences between bilinguals, for example
in terms of their age of acquisition, language proficiency, use, and switching. However, and despite
the importance of this individual variation, studies often do not provide detailed assessments of
their bilingual participants. This review first discusses several aspects of bilingualism that have been
studied in relation to executive functioning. Next, I review different questionnaires and objective
measurements that have been proposed to better define bilingual experiences. In order to better
understand (effects of) bilingualism within and across studies, it is crucial to carefully examine and
describe not only a bilingual’s proficiency and age of acquisition, but also their language use and
switching as well as the different interactional contexts in which they use their languages. | es_ES |
