Cover Story: The relationship between executive functions (EFs) and bilingualism has been characterised by optimism for a bilingual advantage until the last decade, when a steady stream of articles reported failure to find a consistently positive effect for bilingualism. This paper examines the possible effect of culture among bilingual studies on EFs by first contextualising how bilingual EFs are studied and outlining the absence of culture as a macro variable, followed by a discussion on how culture and language are often conflated. This paper directs attention to emerging research that tracks the importance of culture as a separate variable from language and discusses why macro culture and individual monoculturalism or biculturalism need to be carefully elucidated as a factor that can interact with the bilingual experience in shaping EFs.
