摘要
近年来,越来越多的研究揭示了双语在抵御认知老化方面的积极作用。对于双语者而言,每一次语言产出均是大脑执行监控与选择功能的直接体现,这一过程不仅塑造了认知结构,还持续影响着大脑的神经网络,有助于在衰老过程中维持相对稳定的认知功能。本文综述了双语与认知老化关系的相关研究及最新发现,探讨双语经验在老年期维持认知功能的重要作用,并分析其在预防神经退行性疾病中的潜力,进一步阐释双语如何通过增强大脑的功能性和结构性储备,从而在认知神经层面提供保护,有效预防认知老化。同时,本文提出了未来研究的发展方向,以期深化对双语经验与认知老化关系的理解,并为促进老年人的健康老龄化提供新的视角和策略。
Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated the positive effects of bilingualism in mitigating cognitive aging.For bilingual individuals,each instance of language production directly reflects the brain's executive functions in monitoring and selection.This process not only shapes cognitive architecture but also continuously influences the neural network formation,thereby helping to maintain relatively stable cognitive functions during the aging process.This paper reviews relevant research and latest findings on the relationship between bilingualism and cognitive aging,discussing bilingualism's significant role in preserving cognitive functions and analyzing its potential in preventing neurodegenerative diseases.Furthermore,it explores how bilingualism enhances the brain's functional and structural reserves,offering cognitive neuroprotection and defending a-gainst cognitive aging.This paper concludes by proposing directions for future research to deepen the understanding of the rela-tionship between bilingual abilities and cognitive aging,offering new perspectives and strategies for promoting healthy aging a-mong the elderly.
