One topic that has done so, however, is the potential benefits of bilingualism for general cognitive functioning and development, and as a precaution against cognitive decline in old age. Sensational claims have been made in the public domain, mostly by journalists and politicians. Recently (September 4, 2014) The Guardian reported that "learning a foreign language can increase the size of your brain", and Michael Gove, the UK's previous Education Secretary, noted in an interview with The Guardian (September 30, 2011) that "learning languages makes you smarter". The present issue of BLC addresses these topics by providing a state-of-the-art overview of theoretical and experimental research on the role of bilingualism for cognition in children and adults.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{ReitererFestman2014, author = {Reiterer, Susanne Maria and Festman, Julia}, title = {Special Issue: multilingual brains: individual differences in bi-and multilinguals}, series = {International journal of bilingualism : cross-disciplinary, cross-linguistic studies of language behavior}, volume = {18}, journal = {International journal of bilingualism : cross-disciplinary, cross-linguistic studies of language behavior}, number = {1}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {London}, issn = {1367-0069}, doi = {10.1177/1367006912456624}, pages = {3 -- 4}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Krems2011, author = {Krems, Josef F.}, title = {Selected papers from the 2nd European Conference on Human Centred Design for Intelligent Transport Systems}, series = {IET intelligent transport systems}, volume = {5}, journal = {IET intelligent transport systems}, number = {2}, publisher = {Institution of Engineering and Technology}, address = {Hertford}, issn = {1751-956X}, doi = {10.1049/iet-its.2011.9036}, pages = {101 -- 102}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Festman2013, author = {Festman, Julia}, title = {The complexity-cost factor in bilingualism}, series = {Behavioral and brain sciences : an international journal of current research and theory with open peer commentary}, volume = {36}, journal = {Behavioral and brain sciences : an international journal of current research and theory with open peer commentary}, number = {4}, publisher = {Cambridge Univ.
