Fortunately, this perspective has changed! We now know that children can easily learn multiple languages. Research even shows that multilingualism can be advantageous in some aspects.<br><br><strong>Cognitive flexibility<\/strong><br>For instance, when you are bilingual, you often speak your languages with different interlocutors,  often leading to switching between languages. This requires a lot of cognitive control from the brain, since bilinguals brains will have to constantly inhibit the language they are not currently using.. For this reason, they seem to be cognitively more flexible, and it can be observed  as a behavioral advantage against monolinguals.<br><br><strong>Contradictory results<\/strong><br>Het probleem is echter dat sommige onderzoekers dit voordeel\/verschil tussen een- en tweetaligen w\u00e9l vinden, en anderen niet. Waar komt dit door?&nbsp; Mogelijk ligt het aan de taak die wordt gebruikt in een onderzoek. Onderzoekers kiezen namelijk niet allemaal dezelfde taak: sommige taken zijn moeilijker dan de anderen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Easy and hard tasks<\/strong><br>In easier tasks, the monolingual brain possibly works a little more to achieve the same result as the bilingual brain. But when the task becomes more difficult, the monolingual brain can no longer achieve the same result by simply trying harder, and differences between monolinguals and bilinguals begin to emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Results depend on task difficulty<\/strong><br>When we compared bilinguals who varied in their bilingual experience, our results  partially support this explanation. The debate is not yet settled, but it does seem that bilinguals might have a cognitive advantage. However, whether we can observe this difference depends on the level of difficulty of the task used in a study!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/pure.mpg.de\/rest\/items\/item_3606399_3\/component\/file_3606540\/content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meertaligheid in positief lichtWaar vroeger werd gedacht dat het een nadeel was om met meerdere talen op te groeien, omdat je bijvoorbeeld geen van de talen goed zou leren beheersen, denkt men hier tegenwoordig gelukkig heel anders over.
