From the standpoint of memory and attention, what is a possible concern with acquiring multiple languages instead of a single language?
a. Languages are a protected cognitive process and can only be acquired one at a time.
b. Attentional and processing capacities are limited and may affect performance when processing multiple languages.
c. We easily forget language stimuli making it especially difficult to acquire more than one language except over a long period of time.
d. Language requires even more cognitive resources to process than other stimuli so acquiring two languages at once will delay other cognitive processes.
b. Attentional and processing capacities are limited and may affect performance when processing multiple languages.
