Foundations of Bilingual Memory provides a valuable update to the field of bilingual memory and
offers a new psychological perspective on how the bilingual mind encodes stores and retrieves
information. This volume emphasizes theoretical issues such as classic memory approaches
Compound-Coordinate Bilingualism Bilingual Dual Coding Theory and Working Memory about which
relatively little has been written in the bilingual domain. Also covered are: - The
neuropsychology of bilingual memory - Applied issues (such as false memories and bilingualism
emotion and memory) - Empirical findings in support of the uniqueness of the different memory
systems of the bilingual individual - Connectionist models of bilingualism The volume
represents the first book of its kind in stressing a memory perspective with regards to
bilingual speakers. It can serve as an advanced text for both undergraduate and graduate level
students and it will be of great interest to the growing number of bilingual teachers and
university classes interested in understanding the bilingual mind as well as in preparing
teachers to work with the bilingual individual.
