Resumo: This paper aims to investigate cognitive advantages in executive functions of older bilinguals and older monolinguals’ performance at the Mini-mental State Exam and at the Simon Task. This research was carried out with 8 participants, 5 women and 3 men in the age group ranging from 75 to 86 years old, half of which are bilingual and the other part monolingual. Differences were found in MEEM scores and the results indicate there is also an advantageous distinction between bilinguals` and monolinguals` performance considering the results of the Simon Task. Such results, taken together, suggest that elderly bilingual have cognitive advantages in non-verbal tasks in comparison to elderly monolinguals. This investigation contributes with research on cognitive advantages of bilingualism in non-verbal tasks, which is a recent trend in Brazil.

A pesquisa conta com oito participantes com idades de 75 a 86 anos, sendo quatro bilíngues e quatro monolíngues, 5 mulheres e 3 homens. Há bastante dissimilaridade entre bilíngues e monolíngues no desempenho do MEEM e os resultados indicam que há diferença entre bilíngues e monolíngues na execução da tarefa de Simon, sugerindo que os indivíduos bilíngues têm vantagens cognitivas em tarefas não verbais em relação aos monolíngues. A investigação justifica-se por contribuir com pesquisas sobre vantagens cognitivas nas tarefas não verbais, na área da psicolinguística do bilinguismo, em que os estudos ainda são muito incipientes no Brasil.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2009-07-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/4840Letrônica; Vol. 2 No. 1 (2009): Linguagem e Cognição & Introspecção; 212-230Letrônica; v. 2 n. 1 (2009): Linguagem e Cognição & Introspecção; 212-2301984-4301reponame:letrônicainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/4840/4074Martins, Sabrine AmaralZimmer, Márciainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-03-06T18:54:43Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/4840Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronicaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/oailetronica@pucrs.br||ivanetemileski@gmail.com1984-43011984-4301opendoar:2017-03-06T18:54:43letrônica - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
