Abstract

It is rare when a bilingual person speaks two languages with native-like fluency. Most still have a dominant language.

A study found that people shift from intuitive to rational thinking when they use their second language.

Brain imaging research shows that the prefrontal cortex is activated both in second-language use and in rational thought.
