TLDR
Bilinguals outperformed monolinguals overall, but again there were larger language group effects in conditions that included more demanding executive function requirements.About:

The Effect of Computer-Assisted Cognitive Rehabilitation on Working Memory in Children with ADHD
TL;DR: In this paper, a computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program with adaptive training of working memory (WM) tasks on 6 children with ADHD (inattention type) during 15 sessions with each lasting 30 min.
Journal ArticleDOI
The bilingual effects of linguistic distances on episodic memory and verbal fluency
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to determine if differences in linguistic distances have differential effects on bilinguals' episodic memory performance and verbal fluency, and to suggest that the impact of linguistic distances should be explored in more detail in the future.

The Impact of Bilingual Experience on The Literacy Development of Struggling Readers
Li-Jen Kuo,Zhuo Chen,Shaun W Ko +2 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that delay in reading development among struggling readers may be mitigated by bilingual experience through three mechanisms: a) enhanced attention control that allows for more efficient use of working memory during reading; b) increased sensitivity to linguistic structures; and c) availability of compensatory reading strategies through literacy development of a second language.

Bilingualism in children with a dual diagnosis of Down syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder
TL;DR: The aim of this research was to explore the language profiles of four children with a confirmed DS-ASD who had received exposure to two languages and found that participants were developing bilingual abilities in a similar trajectory to children with DS in line with the degree of exposure to each language.

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis.
Akira Miyake,Naomi P. Friedman,Michael J. Emerson,Alexander H. Witzki,Amy Howerter,Tor D. Wager +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.

Eleanor A. Maguire,David G. Gadian,Ingrid S. Johnsrude,Catriona D. Good,John Ashburner,Richard S. J. Frackowiak,Chris D. Frith +6 more
TL;DR: Structural MRIs of the brains of humans with extensive navigation experience, licensed London taxi drivers, were analyzed and compared with those of control subjects who did not drive taxis, finding a capacity for local plastic change in the structure of the healthy adult human brain in response to environmental demands.

The Nature and Organization of Individual Differences in Executive Functions: Four General Conclusions
Akira Miyake,Naomi P. Friedman +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that individual differences in EFs, as measured with simple laboratory tasks, show both unity and diversity and are related to various clinically and societally important phenomena, and show some developmental stability.

Relating effortful control, executive function, and false belief understanding to emerging math and literacy ability in kindergarten
Clancy Blair,Rachel Peters Razza +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicated that the various aspects of child self-regulation accounted for unique variance in the academic outcomes independent of general intelligence and that the inhibitory control aspect of executive function was a prominent correlate of both early math and reading ability.
