Abstract
Abstract Recent research shows bilingualism to be a reserve factor, delaying the onset of symptoms of dementia and slowing the rate at which cognitive decline progresses. This chapter explores how bilingualism may affect the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and why bilingual individuals are more resilient to the effects of Alzheimer’s pathology. The chapter starts with an overview of bilingualism, then leads into how bilingualism acts as a possible mechanism of cognitive reserve. We consider bilingual experience to be a factor of cognitive reserve from three perspectives: pathological symptoms, neuroimaging, and biomarkers. Collectively, bilingualism appears to be beneficial for delaying symptoms, slowing progression, and maintaining cognitive functioning in the face of Alzheimer’s disease. The chapter ends with conclusions based on the research to-date and outlines possible implications for future research.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
