Bilingual Brain Explored

Aurorya writes: "Nature.com posts this article about the this brain activities in bilingual versus monolingual people. The article states that when a bilingual person reads a list of words with one language in mind, the words are "heard" in the brain, and those words of another understood language or jibberish are ignored in the same way; the brain makes no effort to recall the meaning of the word in the other language. This is in contrast to monoligual folks, who search for meaning immediately."

I know that I certainly does it, most computer programmers do it often, if they don't talk English as a first language, it's just too painful to talk about technical terms in non-english, because that is what we all learned it on.
