I read it differently in the study of Bialystok and in the book of Grosjean, too (I am talking about 14:30-15:30). Acutally, in the study came out that all bilinguals have an advantage, but the advantage of English-Chinese children is smaller. And it is not because of other type of writing system in the sense you are presenting (because English-Hebrew children had according to the study actually the same advantage as English-Spanish children). Hebrew has the same system as English or Spanish, because it is based phonetically. That is not the case in Chinese or Korean etc. So the signs themlselves don't play such a big role, the system of putting signs and parts of speech together do (if morphems or phonems). That's what Bialystok found out and I think you might misunderstood that.

Perfect as always! Thank you for the upload! from Algeria.

Concerning the color test in the beginning, I would go for blue for D4 and red for F3. It took me a little less than a minute, and I can speak 5 languages more or less fluently, being proficient in 3 of them (Armenian, Russian and English).

same conclusion. Thai french and english, and a bit of chinese

Thanks a lot. My children have been raised speaking English and Spanish and I have found lots of difficulties at their monolingual Spanish school, where they even think that my daughter has a linguistic disability. I feel glad to see how scientists have tested this phenomenon and how it has been analyzed. Best regards.

Thank you for sharing such wonderful content!

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing!

I'd put blue into D4 and red into F3. I grew up speaking only German, started to learn English when I was about 8 years old and learning French when I was 12. It took me about 15 seconds.

But why? I can´t get the answer.... looking at the colors, the pattern, the rows and columns ... nothing makes sense to me. Could you please explain what your bilingual elvish eyes see?

@@kaspyfantasty1219 It's been a while since I gave that answer, but I guess I connected columns A-D as one pattern where every column needs every color (plus column C and D form patterns in row 1&2 and 3&4). Plus I see column E and F building a pattern together and complete it with red. Maybe my thoughts one year ago were a little more complex, but this is how I think about it now :)

@@Kochenilli My brain immediately got your answer, but it was without logic and those were the colors that looked "right". But it took me around 6 minutes to figure out that there is one less red square as it goes up by row, and there are 2 blue squares for every row.

This is a fantastic video, thank you for sharing your passion. Blue d4, red f3. Ten seconds. I speak English, Spanish, Filipino and Hiligaynon (a dialect). All four are so different from each other. Learning Italian now which is just like Spanish but with different plurals, more contractions and considerably more i's and g's. I want to learn French after Italian but I am scared I don't have enough room in my brain and the other words I know will get pushed out. Jaja. Un saludo!

Thanks! Learned a lot.

Recognised the pattern basically instantly. I speak three languages fluently and five others to a greater or lesser degree.

I'd put blue in D4 and red in F3, it took me around 30 seconds. I grew up speaking French at school and with friends and speaking English with my mom at home.

D4= Blue, F3 = Red, Greek and German, approx 30sec.
