The Neurodevelopmental Dynamics of Multilingual Experience During Childhood: A Longitudinal Behavioral, Structural, and Functional MRI Study
These findings suggest that multilingual competence impacts brain "adaptation" and "specialization" during childhood. The results may provide insights and guide future research on experience-expectant and experience-dependent brain plasticity to explain the "interaction" between multilingualism and neurodevelopment.
