 CT*\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss the process of second language attrit
 ion (i.e.\, change in language knowledge that occurs due to reduced langua
 ge exposure) and cognitive development in Japanese-English bilingual retur
 nee children (i.e.\, migrant children who returned to their first language
  environment after living some years in a second language environment). Th
 e studies I will introduce examine the interplay of language attrition and
  cognitive development from a quantitative perspective\, using mixed effec
 t models to examine what factors modulate the degree of attrition in bilin
 gual children. The findings show that executive control\, in addition to b
 ilingual experience (i.e.\, length of residence and exposure)\, affect and
  may even offset the effects of second language attrition. This research c
 ontributes to the field by showing that selectivity in attrition can be ex
 plained by a combination of several different factors\, including domain-g
 eneral abilities.
