Effect of linguistic experience on metacognition in language tasks and transfer to non-linguistic behaviour

This project explores metacognitive monitoring: the ability of individuals to track decisions, cognitive states, and behavior in uncertain situations. In earlier studies, I showed that Basque-Spanish bilinguals outperform monolinguals in metacognitive efficiency in tasks that engage cognitive processes activated when we hear natural speech. I suggested that bilinguals estimate the likelihood of making an error in language tasks better than monolinguals, i.e., they have enhanced error-monitoring skills in language tasks. However, bilinguals do not represent a homogeneous population. They differ in age of acquisition, relative proficiency in their languages, switching behavior, and also in…
