We examined whether a short training (eight weeks) in second-language (L2-English) to university students has any facilitative effects on their executive functions. One group received English language training for two months and a control group matched on age and background did not receive any training. We administered objective language task (object-naming) and executive function tasks (Flanker, Stroop and colour-shape switching task) before and after the course. We found that the group that received the training improved significantly on the colour-shape switching task but no improvements were found on the Stroop or the Flanker tasks. Their object-naming latency on English also became faster compared to the control group after the training. The control group’s performance was not different at these two time points. We conclude that even a short training in second-language can enhance some components of executive functions beyond improving language skills in young adult students. We discuss the results with reference to similar other training studies and the effect of language learning on cognitive aspects of neuroplasticity.

Longitudinal study

A longitudinal study follows subjects over a certain time period and collects data at specific intervals. Longitudinal studies are powerful study designs. They are particularly useful in medicine as they enable researchers to determine important associations and answer questions regarding prognosis. For example, “when is an athlete able to return to play after a forearm fracture?” is a question that can be answered with a longitudinal study. In this chapter, we will define the three main types of longitudinal studies, analyze examples of prominent longitudinal studies in the literature, and offer advice on the steps needed to perform a longitudinal study.

The aim of the longitudinal study is to find out over a period of one year and four different points of measurement how idle time at the workplace (having nothing to do) affects employees. In the questionnaire of 25 minutes it is investigated how work restrictions influence the experienced idle time and thus work-related results such as occupational well-being, work satisfaction and performance. Moreover, we analyze which proactive and adaptive strategies employees use when anticipating or experiencing idle time and how these strategies in turn have an effect.
