Smythe, P. C.; And Others – Canadian Modern Language Review, 1975
This article examines the evidence and arguments for and against the position that young children are better equipped to profit from foreign language studies than adults, with special reference to FLES programs. Adult and child learning patterns are compared, along with the formal and informal contexts of language acquisition. (CLK)

Hofland, John – 1985
Intended for teachers of theatrical design who need to describe a design process for their students, this paper begins by giving a brief overview of recent research that has described the different functions of the right and left cerebral hemispheres. It then notes that although the left hemisphere tends to dominate the right hemisphere, it is the…

Johnsen, Birgitta – 1985
A study of eight adult chronic aphasic patients' comprehension of sentences and pictures in which comparisons of time and space were crucial was designed to assess A. R. Luria's approach to designing comprehension test tasks. The investigation required patients, with lesions of varying size and location, to determine whether a sentence expressing…

Stacks, Don W.; Andersen, Peter A. – 1987
To further the understanding of how the brain operates at the most basic level of interest to human communication theorists, intrapersonal communication, this paper reviews the arguments against the hemispheric dominance theory and for a neurological processing style model of brain functions and then focuses on the impact of the corpus callosum (a…

Bronstein, Arthur J.; Raphael, Lawrence J. – 1977
Phonetic science is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary. Phoneticians rely on, or at least collaborate with, sociologists, psychologists, biologists, poets, physicists, anthropologists, neurologists and others. A look at the history of phonetics reveals that this seemingly recent trend has deep roots. In fact, it is possible to draw parallels…

Roberts, David Harrill – 1982
For many years dyslexia has been incorrectly applied to those who have demonstrated difficulty in learning to read. Given the proper guidance and opportunities for becoming sensitive to demonstrations of the workings of language and engaging their minds in learning, many students will overcome their so-called learning disabilities. However, there…

Helfeldt, John P. – 1981
Future assessments and instruction in reading in the primary grades will shift from a task oriented analysis toward a learner centered analysis designed to determine what the learner contributes to his or her own learning. Thus a "cognitivistic-mentalistic" rather than a behavioristic analysis of the reading act will occur. However, future…

Albert, Martin L.; Obler, Loraine K. – 1978
This volume brings to light: (1) studies on the effects of different ways of acquiring and teaching a second language; (2) psychological studies on lexical organization in the bilingual brain; (3) neurological research including more than 100 case studies of polyglot aphasics; and (4) original experimental research on language lateralization in…

von Wattenwyl, Andre; Zollinger, Heinrich – International Journal of American Linguistics, 1978
Studies the link between the theory of the neurophysiology of color perception and Berlin and Kay's ideas on color linguistics and color perception. Two interpretations of studies of color terminology are shown, one supporting and one disproving the Whorf Thesis. (NCR)

Walsh, Terrence; Diller, Karl – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1978
A study of the functional aspects of Wernicke's and Broca's areas of the cerebral cortex and their relationship to second language learning and ability. Some implications are drawn regarding second language teaching and methodology. There seems to be a relationship between methodology and the neurological mechanism used by students. (AMH)

Abuhamdia, Zakaria A. – IRAL, 1987
Neurophysiological aspects of the development and use of accents in language are considered, including the function of age of the second language learner, left brain hemisphere, language tasks, and other neuroanatomical considerations. (CB)

de Bode, Stella – 1997
The two-part paper examines the neurobiological processes of synapse overproduction, synapse elimination, and issues of language acquisition and attrition. The first part consists of diagrams and notes explaining some basic terms and concepts of neurobiology: cortex; white matter; neuron; synapse; synaptogenesis; and development and organization…

Dowd, E. Thomas; Pety, John – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1982
Hypothesized that counselors would be rated higher on social influence, client satisfaction, and willingness to see the counselor when they matched client predicates than when they mismatched. Results indicated that knowledge of a client's primary representational system may be of help in increasing a counselor's social influence. (RC)
