Some studies suggest that bilingual children perform better than monolingual children in studies measuring:
  1. Vocabulary size
  2. Executive functions
  3. Sound discrimination abilities in noise
  4. Academic achievements
Explanation
Answer: B - Bilingual children tend to perform better on executive functions.
Studies show that bilingual children tend to have a smaller vocabulary size in one particular language than monolingual children, and have greater difficulties discriminating speech sounds that are presented to them in noise. While they tend to have lower grades than their monolingual counterparts, their executive functioning skills are often superior to monolingual children.
