dc.description.abstract	This presentation focuses on the effect learning a second language (L2) has on cognition. The studies presented in this poster session investigated the influence of the L2 on thought and the benefits of being bilingual. The main foci of these studies are the effects of two languages on comprehension, production, and processing and the organization of the bilingual memory. Implications of the findings of these studies include the activation of two lexicons, negative interference of the first language (L1) with L2, and the access of linguistic knowledge in the working memory. The purpose of this presentation is to encourage further research on bilingualism and the effects of an L2 on a learner’s general cognition. This poster presentation provides annotated bibliographies of five research articles that investigated the effects of bilingualism on cognition. In addition, a list of practical implications from these studies, key terms, visual aids, and references are included.	en_US
