<p><u><span>Public lecture:<strong> Perspectives on bilingualism: From birth to aging</strong></span></u></p>
<p>Living in a city with many languages, we are often confronted with personal debates about what are the best decisions to make for our children and for ourselves. Have you wondered when is the optimal time and in what way to introduce a second language to your child, or whether raising a child in a bilingual environment can create confusion? Have you heard that being bilingual might slow down cognitive decline in aging and provide a buffer against neurodegenerative disease?</p>Mon, 11 May 2015 14:08:15 +0000anita.kar@mcgill.ca1431 at /neuro
