Bilingualism and Cognitive Development
Abstract
IANCO-WORRALL, ANITA D. Bilingualism and Cognitive Development. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1972, 43, 1390-1400. Limited to one definition of bilingualism, namely, dual-language acquisition, in a one-person, one-language home environment, experiments were designed to test Leopold's observations on the earlier separation of word sound from word meaning by bilingual compared to matched unilingual children. Attention to meaning or to sound of words was tested with the semantic and phonetic preference test, a two-choice test in which similarity between words could be interpreted on the basis of shared meaning or shared acoustic properties. The notion that bilingualism leads to the earlier realization of the arbitrary nature of name-object relationship was tested with the questioning technique described by Vygotsky. This called for the explanation of names, whether names can be interchanged and, when names are interchanged in play, whether the attributes of the objects change along with their names. The results support Leopold's observation on the earlier separation of sound and meaning by bilingual children.

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.
