This development in language is due to the fundamental need for the human race to communicate effectively with one another.

disregarding examining potential differences that may be caused by the structure of language. For example, several studies have examined the behavioral effects of morphological frequency across Dutch (Schrueder & Baayen 1997; de Jong, et al., 2000; Bertram, et al., 2000), English (Feldman and Pastizzo, 2003; Baayen et al., 2007), Hebrew (Moscoso del Prado Mart´ın et al. 2005), and Finnish (Moscoso del Prado Mart´ın et al. 2004). Similar types of analyses exist regarding morphological decomposition

This leads to the idea that different languages encode different parts of children's brains. Nicoladis also evaluates the idea that bilingualism positively affects children’s ability to understand

Theory of mind would also be improved due to this inhibition, and through the increased understanding of error. 2. The ability to inhibit thoughts has effect on EF (executive functioning), and thus inhibit ability is increased in two-language children. It requires halting the thought process of one specific language. Through this, two-language children also seem to have an increased ability in focusing their attention
