복수언어 학습이 도움이 된다는 연구 기사입니다. 제목과는 달리 꼭 Duolingo 만 효과있다는 건 아니고요.
Duolingo is probably a better Alzheimer’s treatment than the newest breakthrough drug
“Bilinguals and monolinguals eventually show the same number of Alzheimer’s disease cases, but bilinguals tend to be able to stave off those symptoms for longer,”
요약
- A phase 3 clinical trial focusing on people diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease showed that the drug lecanemab slowed declines in memory and thinking by 27% over 18 months.
- Studies suggest that being bilingual could delay the onset of Alzheimer's symptoms by five years on average, making free language-learning apps like Duolingo a superior alternative to pricey new medications.
- Importantly, the studies show that proficiency with a second language matters more than when it was learned, meaning that learning a new language at any age likely protects against Alzheimer's symptoms.
