Moreover, a second language learning depends on a learner's aptitude. The aim of our study was to assess the early predictors of learning…

The bilingual advantage hypothesis proposes that bilingual children will display greater executive function (EF) skills compared to their monolingual peers. However, most research on this topic neglects to include monolingual children from both language groups for comparison, thus confounding language status and cultur…
