GRAY MATTER; Why Bilinguals Are Smarter
I have heard that babies are smarter by looking at pictures for a certain period of time. The babies that continue to look at the same picture are said to be a little slow, so bilingual babies are faster, or smarter.
tests seem to be easier for bilinguals
did you read Civilization and its Discontents? Freud says the superego is the parent that tells the id (children) what to do. Bilinguals have a better superego.
could it be because bilinguals use more of their brain. Have you heard most humans don't use their full brain capacity?
It is interesting that they tested the inhibition theory of bilingual superiority. Does this mean that bilinguals are better at creating. What is the opposite of inhibition? Creativity, right?
I wonder if this proves that children with a mother and father (or two mothers and two fathers, or two grandparents) are superior to one because they know how to speak two different ways, that every person has a distinct language.
