WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BRAIN WHEN WE LEARN A LANGUAGE?
a growing BODY OF RESEARCH
TOOLS
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
electrophysiology
THE SWEDISH MRI STUDY
A group of young military recruits with A FLAIR FOR languages learned them intensively
a group of medical studnets studied HARD sth ELSE
RESULT
BRAIN GROWTH for those who studied languages
MRI SCANNING
CAN SHOW what parts of the brain are active during a specific learning task
DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN
R
AND
L
SOUNDS FOR JAPNESE LEARNERS
A single region of a Japanese speaker's brain is activated, whereas in English speaker's brain, there are 2 areas of activation FOR EACH SOUND
USE OF A PROGRAMME WHICH EXAGGERATES the difference between the sounds
BENEFITS OF BILINGUALISM
more cognitively creative
more metally flexible
better memory
the ONSET of dementia is diognised LATER
ADVANTAGEOUS, REGARDLESS OF when you learn it
SAVYY SOFTWARE ENGINEERS ARE BEGINNING TO COME UP WITH WAYS TO CAPITALIZE ON THIS NEW KNOWLEDGE BY INCRPORATING IMAGING INTO CUTTING-EDGE LEARNING APPS
EXPERIMENT:
teaching to speak an ARTIFICIAL LANGUAGE
BY IMMERSION IN THE LANGUAGE :star:
MORE NATIVE-LIKE
LONG-TERM
THROUGH EXPLANATIONS OF THE RULES
RESULT:
THE RESEARCH can help us TAILOR language learning methods TO our cognitive ABILITIES
