Beyond Alzheimer's disease: Can bilingualism be a more generalized protective factor in neurodegeneration?

abstract：:Based on a recent metacognitive account, cognitive effort is the result of an inferential evaluation made over explicitly available cues. Following from this account, we present here a pre-registered experiment that tested the specific hypothesis that explicit awareness of cues that are aligned with cognitive demand i...
