Why are bilinguals smarter? Well one of the articles claims that bilinguals are smarter because when they see an object they dont instantly see the objects name in one language. Rather they have to decide which language they would like to call the object in. This means that the person has more neural pathways, which means that the person probably has a higher neural plasticity. This shows that even though one may only be using one language the user has both languages going at once. Having the ability to comprehend in both languages also improves ones brain's executive function.
