Abstract
Language plays a central role in the development of executive functions (EFs). This forum article discusses how language, as a structured environmental stimulus, can shape EF systems and impact EF outcomes. This has implications for developmental and clinical conditions in which language and EFs are jointly affected, and for congenitally deaf children and adults, who often experience reduced access to natural language during development.
Most research on language and the brain has studied the individual, yet dialogue is the primary form of language use. LaDy aims to link 2 phenomena that capture this joint nature: linguistic alignment in behaviour and neural alignment between brains. Combining EEG hyperscanning with a novel dyadic paradigm, the pro...

Phonological development plays a key role in learning to read, but this process can be influenced by the environ-ment—particularly in bilinguals who acquire 2 phonological systems. This project investigates how early bilingualism shapes the brain networks supporting reading development. We hypothesise that bilingua...

The BILREADy project explores whether early bilingualism enhances resilience to dyslexia by promoting hemispheric rebalance. One objective is to develop a child-friendly EEG-neurofeedback system to investigate whether hemispheric rebalance can support language processing in children with difficulties, with the fina...

Language lies at the core of human nature. It is, therefore, not surprising that it has long been investigated as a privileged domain for understanding how human cognition is structured and organized. Because language is not monolithic across the lifespan, examining how it changes at different life stages has become a...
