A Neurobiological Model of Procedural Linguistic Skill Acquisition.

Robbins, Scarlett L.

Issues in Applied Linguistics, v3 n2 p235-65 Dec 1992

Presents a neurobiologically inspired model of one aspect of adult second language acquisition: procedural linguistic skill acquisition. Notes that the proposed model crucially involves the neural circuitry of the neocerebellum, a brain structure implicated in higher cognitive and, potentially, linguistic functions.
