Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond the bilingual advantage: The potential role of genes and environment on the development of cognitive control
TL;DR: Preliminary results from genotyping of a sample of bilingual and monolingual individuals reveal different distributions in allele frequencies of the DRD2/ANKK1 taq1A polymorphism, bringing up the possibility that bilinguals may exhibit additional flexibility due to differences in genetic characteristics relative tomonolinguals.
Journal ArticleDOI
"Doing What I can, but I got no Magic Wand:" A Snapshot of Early Childhood Educator Experiences and Efforts to Ensure Quality During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
April Crawford,Kelly A. Vaughn,Cathy L. Guttentag,Cheryl Varghese,Yoonkyung Oh,Tricia A. Zucker +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic for over 2000 educators-teachers, administrators, and specialists-who completed surveys in the Spring and Fall of 2020.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual differences in the bilingual brain: The role of language background and DRD2 genotype in verbal and non-verbal cognitive control
Kelly A. Vaughn,Aurora I. Ramos Nuñez,Maya R. Greene,Brandin Munson,Elena L. Grigorenko,Elena L. Grigorenko,Arturo E. Hernandez +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that genetic and language background variables predicted neural activity in the IFG during English picture naming and suggest that variation in the DRD2 gene should be ignored when drawing conclusions about bilingual verbal and non-verbal cognitive control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Becoming a balanced, proficient bilingual: Predictions from age of acquisition & genetic background.
TL;DR: Results indicated a three-way interaction such that the relationship between the genetic variants and bilingual proficiency depended on AoA, and individuals with the genetic variant associated with cortical dopamine levels that are balanced between stability and flexibility predicted the highest levels of bilingual proficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symbiosis, Parasitism and Bilingual Cognitive Control: A Neuroemergentist Perspective.
TL;DR: This review poses that bilingualism and cognitive control, as examined through the Neuroemergentist framework, are interwoven through development and involve the non-linear growth of cognitive processing encompassing brain areas that combine and recombine, in symbiotic and parasitic ways, in order to handle more complex types of processing.
