Bilingualism and Naming in MCI and Alzheimer's Disease: Insights from Catalan‐Spanish Speakers

The results from Catalan-Spanish bilinguals with MCI and AD do not align with the weaker link hypothesis or competitive models of bilingual language production. A possible explanation lies in the language context: passive bilinguals, who are regularly exposed to a second language, may differ fundamentally from monolinguals examined in prior studies. This continuous exposure to a second language could influence cognitive and linguistic processing in ways not accounted for in monolingual comparisons.

Abstract

The results from Catalan-Spanish bilinguals with MCI and AD do not align with the weaker link hypothesis or competitive models of bilingual language production. A possible explanation lies in the language context: passive bilinguals, who are regularly exposed to a second language, may differ fundamentally from monolinguals examined in prior studies. This continuous exposure to a second language could influence cognitive and linguistic processing in ways not accounted for in monolingual comparisons.
