Ellen Bialystok, Distinguished Research Professor of Psychology in York's Faculty of Health, spoke to Radio Canada International's "The Link" March 26 about her research on bilingualism and Alzheimer's disease. Her interview starts 12 minutes into the episode and runs for six and a half minutes to the 18:30 mark.
Bialystok also spoke to the Guelph Mercury March 27 about research evidence that an active mind helps keep you mentally fit, although there are "more questions than answers" on whether it can help delay or prevent dementia or Alzheimer's.
