简要总结
Foreign language learning did not significantly improve primary or secondary outcomes, neither immediately nor 3 months after the language course. However, moderation analyses revealed that participants with lower global baseline cognition tended to improve more on response inhibition than individuals with higher baseline cognition. This relationship was not evident in the waiting list control group.
