Bilingual Memory Revisited

Abstract In this paper we address the question of how the bilingual stores information. We begin with a brief review of the research on bilingual memory. Our aim here is not to be exhaustive but representative. Next we turn to some recent work to bear on the question of bilingual memory. We conclude with a discussion of the implications for our understanding of how the bilingual mind is organized.
