In terms of neuroscience, which of the following tends to be true of bilingual individuals?
 
  Even though both languages reside in the same area of the brain, bilingual
  individuals are able to activate one language and temporarily inhibit the other.
  Different languages reside in different areas of the brain, thus allowing a
  bilingual individual to activate only one area at a time.
  Bilingual individuals of any age tend to have difficulty with keeping the two
  languages totally separate when speaking.
  Since both languages reside in the same area of the brain, bilingual
  individuals must consciously inhibit one language while speaking the other.

Question 2

Overregularization occurs because children:
 
  tend to regress briefly before progressing to new forms of language.
  have no understanding of past, present, and future.
  assume that the language is less regular than it actually is.
  assume their language always follows the rules they have learned thus far.
