Previene Alzheimer  Brian Gold found bilingual seniors were better at the task, which had them quickly sorting colors and shapes, than their monolingual peers.  The brains of the monolingual seniors were working harder to complete the task, while the bilingual seniors' brains were much more efficient, more like those of young adults.  Neuroscientists think that having more reserve brain power helps compensate for age-related declines in thinking and memory, and may help protect against the losses caused by Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. The study was published in the Journal of Neuroscience.study
