I actually read an interesting study, probably here, about software engineers. It turns out that for as much emphasis as we put on mathematics we actually tend to be better at language, and that even our penchant for maths is less in the way of calculation and more in the way of definition and expression (which is to say, making it the language numbers speak and learning it that way).

This one perhaps?

It would be nice to have a reference.
