Executive control in bilingual aphasia: a systematic review
Open accessAbstract
Much research has been dedicated to the effects of bilingualism on executive control (EC). For bilinguals with aphasia, the interplay with EC is complex. In this systematic review, we synthesize research on this topic and provide an overview of the current state of the field. First, we examine the evidence for EC deficits in bilingual persons with aphasia (bPWA). We then discuss the domain generality of bilingual language control impairments. Finally, we evaluate the bilingual advantage hypothesis in bPWA. We conclude that (1) EC impairments in bPWA are frequently observed, (2) experimental results on the relationship between linguistic and domain-general control are mixed, (3) bPWA with language control problems in everyday communication have domain-general EC problems, and (4) there are indications for EC advantages in bPWA. We end with directions for experimental work that could provide better insight into the intricate relationship between EC and bilingual aphasia.

The role of cognitive function in bilingual aphasia recovery may be even more pronounced, given the increased demands on cognitive control and language selection mechanisms in bilingual language processing.
“The role of cognitive function in bilingual aphasia recovery may be even more pronounced, given the increased demands on cognitive control and language selection mechanisms in bilingual language processing56.”
From Machine Learning Predictions of Recovery in Bilingual Poststroke Aphasia: Aligning Insights With Clinical Evidence (2025) · cites this paper as [56]
The Introduction (page unavailable) says that both languages compete for selection and describes inhibitory control as a way to resolve that competition. The functional-communication section (page unavailable) links executive-control deficits to selective language recovery in bilingual aphasia. The review does not establish the comparative claim that cognitive function plays a more pronounced role in bilingual than in monolingual aphasia recovery. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredCognitive skills may be even more crucial in bilingual contexts due to the interaction between heightened EC demands and the neural infrastructure supporting bilingual lexical access.
“These skills may be even more crucial in bilingual contexts due to the interaction between heightened EC demands and the neural infrastructure supporting bilingual lexical access56,58–60.”
From Machine Learning Predictions of Recovery in Bilingual Poststroke Aphasia: Aligning Insights With Clinical Evidence (2025) · cites this paper as [56]
The Introduction (page unavailable) says both languages compete for selection and reports evidence that executive control and bilingual language control share neural circuits. The Discussion (page unavailable) suggests that better-preserved executive control could help inhibit the non-intended language and improve communication in bilingual people with aphasia. These passages support the proposed importance of cognitive control, but do not establish that it is more crucial in bilingual contexts specifically because of an interaction with neural infrastructure supporting lexical access. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredExecutive control (EC) interacts with language, and impairments in these functions may lead to difficulties in compensating for linguistic deficits in bilingual people with aphasia (bPWA).
“Per a recent systematic review of EC in bPWA, EC interacts with language, and impairments in these functions may lead to difficulties in compensating for linguistic deficits in bPWA56.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
