The research conducted by Dam et al., examined the effects of cognate-based
therapy on bilingual children with and without DLD. The study consisted of a
sample of 12 bilingual children who received cognate-based therapy in L1
(Spanish). The study concluded that, as a group, children showed improvement in
definition quality and cognate naming in Spanish. All children showed positive
cross-language correlations on post-intervention measures.

Research by Kambanaros et al. focused on a case study of an 8-year old, trilingual
girl with SLI. Treatment included cognate-based therapy and the study discussed
the cross-linguistic transfer effects after therapy. The study concluded that there
was a significant improvement during and immediately after intervention on
treatment cognate performance in English, which was maintained 1 month after
intervention.
