Event: XVI congreso Nacional de Neuropsicología

Co-authored and presented a poster titled “Bilingüismo y cognición: el impacto de la competencia y uso del lenguaje en adultos mayores sanos”. The poster was developed in collaboration with Gonzalo Sánchez-Benavides, Oriol Grau-Rivera, Miguel Santos-Santos, Laia Subirats, Ferran Prados and Marco Calabria.

The presentation focused on the impact of bilingualism on the cognition of cognitively healthy older adults, aged 45 to 70, who are part of the Alzheimer’s and Families (ALFA) study. To this end, we considered the participants’ diverse bilingual experiences based on their age of acquisition, proficiency level, and active lifelong use of Catalan and Spanish.

This year, we began sharing the initial findings of the thesis at national and international conferences and symposiums. Participating in these academic events offers invaluable opportunities for both professional and personal development. The process of preparing and submitting abstracts has strengthened academic writing skills, improving the ability to clearly communicate complex research ideas. Additionally, presenting research findings through posters and oral presentations helps improve public speaking and scientific communication skills.

So far, we have attended the annual Spanish meeting in the field of Neuropsychology (FANPSE). Engaging with keynote lectures and panel discussions has been especially inspiring, as it provides valuable insights into the latest advancements in the field and helps contextualize our research within the broader academic landscape.
