Abstract
İkidilli kişilerin çeşitli bilişsel yetileri ile İkidillilik deneyiminin farklı boyutları arasında nasıl ilişkili olduğuna dair giderek artan bir ilgi bulunmaktadır. Ancak, bu ilginin yeterli dil gelişimi olmayan küçük yaştaki ikidilli çocuklardan veri elde etme konusunda sınırlı kaldığı görülmüştür. Mevcut çalışma, 30-48 aylık ikidilli çocukların ve ebeveynlerinin dil yeterliği, dil kullanımı, ve kod değiştirme sıklığı gibi çeşitli ikidillilik deneyimine dair faktörleri incelemektedir. Sonuçlar, çocukların bilişsel kontrol yeteneklerini, çocuklardan veya ebeveynlerden gelen ikidilli deneyim değişkenlerinden ziyade, çocukların yaşının yordadığını göstermiştir. Bu çalışma, üçlü ikidillilik deneyimi boyutlarını ve ebeveyn faktörlerini de içererek ikidilliliğin etkileri inceleyen az sayıdaki çalışmadan biridir. Sınırlı dil üretimine sahip küçük yaştaki ikidilli çocuklar incelenirken, ikidilli deneyimin getirdiği tüm boyutları içeren bir yaklaşım uygulamanın ve çevresel faktörleri dahil etmenin alanyazın özelindeki çıkarımları tartışılmıştır.

Abstract
There has been growing interest in how different dimensions of bilingual experience relate to cognitive abilities within the bilingual group. However, this interest rarely targeted data from young bilingual children who lack sufficient language production. The current study includes a variety of bilingual experience-related factors, such as language proficiency, language use, and code-switching frequency, to investigate 30- to 48-month-old bilingual children as well as their parents. Results showed that children’s age, rather than any of the bilingual-experience-related variables from neither children nor parents, predicted children’s cognitive control abilities. This study is one of the few that looked at the bilingual effects by including three bilingual-experience-related dimensions as well as parental factors. The implications of applying the bilingual experience dimension-based approach and including environmental factors while studying young bilingual age groups with limited language production were discussed.
