Language switching and executive control in bilinguals with Mild Cognitive Impairment
Notably, language control abilities may be compromised in bilingual patients even in the absence of neurodegeneration in brain regions traditionally linked to language selection and inhibition, such as the basal ganglia. Crucially, cognitive decline appears to have a more pronounced impact on language-switching abilities than on the monitoring of the two languages. However, the existence of language control deficits does not correlate with executive control deficits, suggesting that these two control domains are not entirely overlapping.
