CULTURAL DIFFERENCES AND THEIR EFFECT ON COGNITIVE FUNCTION TASKS

Abstract

In an attempt to further research on Bilingualism, this study examined the relationships between acculturation, time perception, and a cognitive task called the Color-Word Stroop Task. The results were reached by utilizing detailed demographics, psychological acculturation scale, language experience and proficiency questionnaire, The Color-Word Stroop Task, and a time perception questionnaire. The results concluded that for the sample utilized, there was no relationship between acculturation, time perception, and the Color-Word Stroop Task. The possible limitations, and modifications are discussed further.
