Bilingualism and Processing of Elementary Cognitive Tasks by Chicano Adolescents.
Nanez, Jose E., Sr.; Padilla, Raymond V.
Bilingual Research Journal, v19 n2 p249-60 Spr 1995
Two experiments conducted with 49 Chicano high school students, aged 15-17, found that balanced-proficient bilingual speakers had slower rates of cognitive information processing at the level of short-term memory than did unbalanced bilingual speakers. The groups did not differ in rates of cognitive information processing at the simpler level of sensory-perceptual memory. (SV)
