Researchers have found that depending on the pri _ry language spoken, people looking at the same set of events per _ive things differently. For example, Russian speakers apparently can distinguish shades of blue faster than English speakers, while Japanese speakers group objects by _terial rather than shape. But a new study from the Lancaster University in the United Kingdom focused on bilinguals and looked at how these people see the world and it found some surprising results. Were taking that classic debate and turning it on its head, psycholinguist Panos Athanasopoulos said, by asking whether two different minds can exist within one person rather than asking whether speakers of different languages have different minds. In the study, scientists looked at English and Ger _n speakers and how they treat events. The English language focuses on situating actions in time, whereas Ger _n speakers tend to specify the beginning, middle and end of an event. When looking at the same s _ne, a Ger _n speaker would say that A _n leaves the house and walks to the store, while an English speaker would say A _n is walking. Researchers told 15 native speakers of each language to look at clips showing various ambiguous actions (people walking, biking, running or driving) and asked them to describe them as goal-oriented or not goal-oriented. Ger _n speakers _tched ambiguous s _nes with goal-oriented ones 40% of the time, while English speakers did so 25% of the time. The conclusion was that Ger _n speakers are more likely to focus on possible outes of actions and English speakers pay more attention to the action happening in front of them. Scientists then looked at 30 bilinguals who were shown at the same kind of videos, and actively challenged them to switch languages. When English was blocked, subjects saw ambiguous videos as more goal-oriented, just as Ger _n speakers from the former test. When Ger _n was blocked, subjects acted as English speakers. The study suggests that languages have an important unconscious role in a persons per _ption of events. By having another language, you have an alternative vision of the world,” Athanasopoulos said. You can listen to music from only one speaker, or you can listen in stereo Its the same with language. This is an important advan _, Atlanta Emory University cognitive scientist Phillip Wolff said about the study. If youre a bilingual speaker, youre able to entertain different perspectives and go back and forth. That really hasnt been shown before.
