Comparing Cognitive Abilities of Monolinguals and Bilinguals: An Evaluation of Reliability Measures

Author(s) Dr.Preeti Gulati

Abstract Man spends a major part of his time in the preparation, production and interpretation of linguistic utterances of diverse kinds. The process of learning a language is not only to learn the linguistic forms of the language but also to use them appropriately in several contexts. Proficiency in a language does not only mean that one knows what has to be marked and expressed but also to understand as to what shall be inferred by the listeners. Language and cognition are intimately related disciplines but the exact dynamics of this relationship has been the subject matter for several debates and controversies. There is another common sense perspective which runs across several disciplines. Many linguistics and anthropologists believe that the language learnt by an individual greatly affects his way of thinking and communicative abilities. In the present study, cognitive abilities of monolinguals and bilinguals were compared. This approach to unravelling the language-cognition relation is the main issue in the school of cognitive linguistics which also gave rise to a question whether monolinguals or bilinguals are more proficient in their abilities to assess different cognitive structures A clear cut answer regarding the role of lingualism in the development of cognitive abilities is not available in the mentioned literature. Different studies clearly indicate conflicting results. Some of the studies have shown that bilinguals outperform monolinguals in all the above listed cognitive abilities whereas other studies indicate that monolinguals perform better than bilinguals in certain cognitive abilities. Therefore bilingualism has been the relevant topic for years. . Keeping in mind the available literature cognitive abilities viz., intelligence, problem solving ability, concept formation and creativity were taken into consideration and were analysed using a t-test. Along with this the reliability coefficients of all the variables and the measures used in the study were estimated using Split-half, Test-retest and inter-scorer method.
