Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between age of second language acquisition and cognitive flexibility. Cognitive flexibility was measured with the Ambiguous Figures Task. The earlier participants learned their second language, the earlier they correctly perceived the second form of the ambiguous figure, implying more cognitive flexibility.
