Do bilingual people think different than monolingual people?

According to what my parents always told me... someone who speaks two or more languages thinks in a different way than one that does. They weren't saying I was more intelligent but that I since I am Bilingual, i have a different route in making connections in my brain. Lets now look into what researchers have to say about this;
"Control, develops earlier in bilingual children than in comparable monolinguals. In the theory of cognitive complexity and control, Zelazo and Frye argue that preschool children lack the conscious representation and executive functioning needed to solve problems based on conflicting rules. The present study investigates whether the bilingual advantage in control can be found in a nonverbal task, the dimensional change card sort, used by Zelazo and Frye to assess CCC. This problem contains misleading information characteristic of high-control tasks but minimal demands for analysis. Sixty preschool children, half of whom were bilingual, were divided into a group of younger 4.2 and older (M = 5,5) children. All the children were given a test of English proficiency and working memory (Visually-Cued Recall Task) to assure comparability of the groups and then administered the dimensional change card sort task and the moving word task. The bilingual children were more advanced than the monolinguals in the solving of experimental problems requiring high levels of control. These results demonstrate the role of attentional control in both these tasks, extends our knowledge about the cognitive development of bilingual children, and provides a means of relating developmental proposals articulated in two different theoretical frameworks, namely, CCC and analysis-control."
This goes to show us that the wiring in the head of bilingual people is different that monolingual. As one can see by this research. And it makes sense as I've always thought so myself, because bilingual people have two ways of speaking... in thier thinking, and somehow I associate different things in different languages, and in order to relate this into either language I have to do more thinking and more analytical breakdown to reach the same conclusions or to break it into another language. I guess this makes bilingual children and people more apt to more wiring because of the more thought processes and use of the brain, as the brains a muscle, more is developed in the area of language and in just plain usage - allowing for a quicker brain continuum of processes. So in my opinion since monolingual people don't have to go through all these different barriers in association and thinking, Bilingual people do think differently from monolingual - although is it better? maybe some more research will be needed in the future.
