Abstract
- The article reports on the results of a study by Dr. Gitit Kave, a neuro-psychologist at the Herczeg Institute on Aging in Tel Aviv, Irael and her colleagues on how multilingualism combats aging. Their study found that senior citizens who spoke more than one language had better cognitive skills. More languages were found to be more significantly correlated with cognitive state in people without education.
