To reconcile an ongoing debate to whether the retention of form takes precedence over the retention of meaning in memory, an eye-tracking reading study was conducted on bilingual participants at the University of Puerto Rico. Participants read unilingual Spanish and codeswitched sentences and answered comprehension questions, always in unilingual sentences. Results suggest that form of the target noun is retained and results in interference. However, a simple math problem was enough for interference to disappear.
