Learning foreign languages ​​can prevent brain failure
Release date: 2014-06-04
Studies have shown that people who speak two or more languages ​​have significantly higher brain cognitive abilities than they expect.
Research at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom shows that learning a foreign language, even in adulthood, can have a positive impact on the brain. A study of 262 people aged 11 or older found that after reading a foreign language, their reading, verbal expression and intelligence improved. Another previous study said that mastering bilingualism can delay the age of symptoms of Alzheimer's disease for several years.
The biggest problem that the latest research attempts to solve is that learning a new language improves brain cognitive ability, or that individuals with strong brain cognitive ability are more likely to become bilingual. Dr. Thomas Bak, who led the research, said he believed they found the answer.
Significant impact
All respondents can speak at least one other language than English. Among them, 195 people studied a second language before the age of 18, and 65 people were after the age of 18. Studies have shown that people who speak two or more languages ​​have significantly higher brain cognitive abilities than they expect. The most obvious influence is the comprehensive intelligence and reading ability.
Bak said that their findings have significant practical value. He said that their research shows that mastering bilingualism, even if you study foreign languages ​​in adulthood, will be beneficial to keeping your brain alive. But he also admitted that their research also raised more questions, such as whether it is more effective to actually speak a foreign language than to master a foreign language knowledge.
