Abstract
The Influence of Bilingualism on Cognitive Processing in Children Bilingualism has been a topic of interest in the field of linguistics and psychology for its potential impact on cognitive processing in individuals, particularly in children. This research aims to explore the influence of bilingualism on cognitive processing in children, focusing on various aspects such as attention, memory, problem-solving, and language development. The study will involve a comprehensive literature review to examine existing research findings and theoretical frameworks related to bilingualism and cognitive processing in children.
