A Study of Bilingual Language Representation and Cognitive Psychological Mechanism

Abstract

Bilingualism has become a common phenomenon with the increasing exchanges between countries and nations. A bilingual person is someone skilled in using two or more languages at the same time. Language shaping people's thinking patterns and cognitive abilities, then what will have effect to master two or more languages on the individual's cognitive ability? Is the promotion or the interference? What are the mechanisms of impact? The focus of early research debate is on whether bilingual competence can promote or disrupt cognitive development. This debate has now largely been resolved, with most researchers assuming that bilingual competence has a positive effect on some aspects of cognitive development rather than interference. Now the focus of the study is bilingual when to start to promote cognitive function, the extent and scope of the role of what is the mechanism of action. Therefore, it is very important to study the relationship between bilingual competence and cognitive development. On the one hand, it can help us to better understand the relationship between bilingualism and thinking, cognition, bilingualism and cognitive development, relationship, on the other hand, can also provide psychological theory guidance for our foreign language teaching.
