एकभाषी (en. Monolingual)

In contrast, the monolingual brain appears to rely on "a larger, and multifunctional network which includes a wide set of processing nodes dedicated to executive processing" they add.

In the follow-up study, the researchers tested fifteen trilingual infants of the same age and found no differences between monolingual and trilingual infants on memory flexibility and no generalization advantage for infants exposed to three languages from birth.

In three studies involving a total of 145 bilingual and 126 monolingual individuals, participants completed a test to study their ability to switch between types of stimulus displays wherein different responses were required.

The bilingual children significantly outperformed the monolingual children in two of the four sub-tests; the Scottish children significantly outperformed the Sardinian children in one of the sub-tests.

The monolingual group only started to display the P600 brain waves by the end of the 1-week training session.

Secondly, whereas the monolingual brain uses diverse brain connections, the bilingual brain achieves the same result without the use of the frontal regions, which are vulnerable to aging.

For the study, the team invited two groups of seniors - 10 monolingual and 10 bilingual - to perform a task during which they had to focus on the color of an object while ignoring its position.
