What happens to #cognition when we outsource language learning to #AI? Researchers at the MARCS Institute explore how learning a #language engages #memory, #attention, & #cognitive flexibility. 🔗 tinyurl.com/bdey7cv6 @oliviamaurice.bsky.social @markantoniou.bsky.social @westernsydneyu.bsky.social

If AI can translate instantly, why learn another language?
There’s a difference between using a tool to assist you, and using one to replace cognitive effort.

🌏 Grateful to present at #ASSBI + #NZSIGN in NZ ✨ My datablitz explored how multilingualism relates to cognitive and psychosocial ageing 📊 Findings suggest multilingualism is linked to both costs and benefits, supporting selective adaptive resilience rather than a single “global advantage” model 🌱
