Neurolinguistics
Where is one's core language ability located?
What is Left Hemisphere?
When information enters the senses (e.g., eyes, ears), this is step ____ of ________ _________
What is Step one of Information Processing?
What type of controlled process occurs with practice and repetition?
What is Automaticity?
This theory does not account for the order of acquisition. (E.g. We still don’t know why irregular past tense is learned before regular past tense in oral language)
What is Systematic?
This is essential for processes to become automatic.
What is repetition?
Non-verbal, visuospatial information, intonation are examples of these
What is knowledge is stored in the right side of the brain?
When you group information significantly to help you store more information at one time in the STM it is called_____?
What is Chunking?
What type of controlled process occurs when you try to find a new way to do something?
What is Restructuring?
Process ability Theory, Multi-dimensional model, Competition Model
What is the three approaches that were based on Information processing?
"Learners must have input to process. This is how learning is achieved. The usefulness of input is limited by the learner's ability to store it in the STM and then process it." (Churchill, Lecture Notes)
Why is input necessary?
Brain lateralization locates functions in one of these two areas of the brain
What is the left and right hemispheres?
Information stored in the ____ can be retrieved and used in the _____.
What is long-term memory and short-term memory?
Learning to drive a car (where you can only concentrate on one thing at a time) is an example of ______ .
What is controlled processing?
When a learner is under time pressure output will be influenced more by this process.
What is automatic?
A good way to develop fluency, accuracy and automatic processing is this type of in-class speaking activity
What is a 4-3-2 speaking activity?
Phonology, morphology and syntax are all specializations of this area of the brain
What is the left hemisphere?
The amount of items that can be held in short-term memory.
What is 5-9 items?
Automatic processes are difficult to change because they are stored in this location.
What is Long-Term Memory?
The usefulness of ___ is limited by the learners ability to store it in the STM and then process it.
What is input?
At least how much time does the 4-3-2 activity take?
what is 9 minutes?
When functions become located in either the right or left hemisphere and the brain becomes less plastic?
What is when the brain becomes lateralized in childhood
What two researchers found that simplified text repeatedly to help automatize word recognition, left more cognitive resources for higher order comprehension processes?
What is Gorsuch and Taquchi?
A controlled process can become automatic through_____ and ________?
What is automaticity and Restructuring
What three approaches are based on McLaughlin’s Information Processing Theory?
What is Processability Theory, Multidimensional Mode and Competition Model
What type of student attends to input and uses strategies to hold items in the STM (chunking)?
What is a Successful Learner
