 For example, English and Spanish speakers look at different objects when searching for the same item (e.g., clock) in identical visual displays.Whereas English speakers searching for the "clock" also look at a "cloud," Spanish-English bilinguals searching for the clock look at both a "cloud" and a "gift", because the Spanish names for "gift" ("regalo") and "clock" ("reloj") overlap phonologically.These differences in looking patterns emerge despite an absence of direct linguistic input, suggesting that peoples’ lifelong experience with language can influence visual search.
