Abstract
Studying the cognitive processes of bilingual people helps us understand how language affects thinking and how people from different cultures process information. Among them, the study of memory is important for understanding human cognitive processes. Within the scope of this study, the results of the study of short-term visual memory, short-term auditory memory, meaning memory and the speed of attention of 9-year-old Mongolian students of elementary school with Chinese language training and presented the results. The study used questionnaires developed by the National Institute of Educational Research to assess the attention span, processing speed, short-term visual attention (image recognition), short-term auditory attention, and the ability to interpret information for 8-10 year old children. Such as sample of 76 9-year-old children from Uy Tsai general education school in the capital city was selected and analyzed. The results of the study showed that 9-year-old children in bilingual schools had normal average levels of attention span, processing speed, and auditory memory, while visual memory and semantic memory were above average.
