However, there is no firm confirmation […]
The bilingual advantage in tasks of interference control at the visual space level has been studied with the Simon task, among others. Based on the results of several existing studies, the literature on bilingual advantage has given rise to several contradictions. A work and a previous investigation carried out by our team showed an equivalent […]
