Below are part 1 and part 2 of the talk given at the 63rd Annual Psychonomic Society (aka the Psychonomics). The Psychonomics is the largest cognitive psychology conference, attended by more than 3,000 researchers each year. 

 

Nadine gave a talk titled “Visuospatial working memory of serial order in bilinguals, monolinguals, and chimpanzees: The possible influence of language on recall”.

​

Nadine found that bilinguals performed worse than monolinguals in the visuospatial working memory task if they used a verbal strategy. In contrast, those bilinguals who used a non-verbal strategy in completing this task outperformed monolinguals.
