    • Abstract

    Recent evidence suggests a positive impact of bilingualism on cognition, including later onset of dementia. However, monolinguals and bilinguals might have different baseline cognitive ability. We present the first study examining the effect of bilingualism on later-life cognition controlling for childhood intelligence. We studied participants, first tested in (age = 11 years), and retested in – Bilinguals performed significantly better than predicted from their baseline cognitive abilities, with strongest effects on general intelligence and reading. Our results suggest a positive effect of bilingualism on later-life cognition, including in those who acquired their second language in adulthood.

    Recent studies suggest that bilingualism improves later-life cognition and delays the onset of dementia. The main limitation of this research lies in the bilingualism-associated confounding variables (eg, ethnic/environmental differences, immigration). Although a recent study succeeded in minimizing the environmental factors, another confound remains extremely difficult to tackle: reverse causality. Bilinguals might have different baseline characteristics from monolinguals; instead of bilingualism leading to cognitive differences, original differences (eg, childhood intelligence [CI]) could lead to bilingualism. This confound is particularly difficult to address, because it requires knowledge of prior levels of intelligence.

    The Lothian Birth Cohort (LBC) offers an opportunity to overcome this confound. The participants took an intelligence test in at age 11 years, and were retested in – Reflecting the society of its time, the cohort is remarkably homogeneous; they are English native speakers, of European origin, born, raised, and living in and around Edinburgh. None was an immigrant. Thus, LBC data allowed us to address, for the first time, the question whether learning a second language influences later cognitive performance after

    Russian revolutionary anarchist and philosopher (–)

    "Bakunin" redirects here. For others with this surname, see Bakunin (surname). For the book by E. H. Carr, see Bakunin (biography). For the Soviet politician, see Nikolai Bukharin.

    In this name that follows Eastern Slavic naming customs, the patronymic is Alexandrovich and the family name is Bakunin.

    Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin (bə-KOO-nin; 30 May&#;[O.S. 18 May]&#; – 1 July ) was a Russian revolutionary anarchist. He is among the most influential figures of anarchism and a major figure in the revolutionary socialist, social anarchist, and collectivist anarchist traditions. Bakunin's prestige as a revolutionary also made him one of the most famous ideologues in Europe, gaining substantial influence among radicals throughout Russia and Europe.

    Bakunin grew up in Pryamukhino, a family estate in Tver Governorate. From , he studied in Moscow, then in Berlin hoping to enter academia. Later in Paris, he met Karl Marx and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, who deeply influenced him. Bakunin's increasing radicalism ended hopes of a professorial career. He was expelled from France for opposing the Russian Empire's occupation of Poland. After participating in the Prague and Dresden uprisings, Bakunin was imprisoned, tried, sentenced to death, and extradited multiple times. Finally exiled to Siberia in , he escaped via Japan to the United States and then to London, where he worked with Alexander Herzen on the journal Kolokol (The Bell). In , Bakunin left to join the insurrection in Poland, but he failed to reach it and instead spent time in Switzerland and Italy.

    In , Bakunin joined the International Workingmen's Association, leading the anarchist faction to rapidly grow in influence. The Hague Congress was dominated by a struggle between Bakunin and Marx, who was a key figure in the General Council of the International and argued for the use
