By primarily drawing on EEG\/ERP evidence, I will show that some but not all aspects of language: (1) are processed outside of awareness; (2) can be acquired by adult second language learners unintentionally and implicitly; and (3) are influenced and enhanced by memory processes occurring during sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken together, these results show that many of the mechanisms that support language processing and acquisition\u2014as well as learning more generally\u2014operate \u201cbeneath the surface\u201d and outside of our conscious awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This research has important implications for understanding why language acquisition and many other types of learning become so much more effortful later in life. Given that some types of learning may occur unintentionally or without focused attention, a related goal is to identify optimal learning conditions for language, particularly for adult non-native learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> You are welcome to bring your lunch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date:&nbsp;Feb. 9, 2017: &nbsp;1pm \u2013 2:30pm Dunton Tower 2203 Speaker:&nbsp;Dr. Laura Batterink, Brain Behavior and Cognition: Department of Psychology Northwestern University Title:&nbsp;Contributions to language from implicit and explicit memory Abstract: A fundamental distinction in human cognition is between implicit cognitive mechanisms, which operate outside of conscious awareness, and explicit cognitive mechanisms, which require awareness in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8216,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8212"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8220,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8212\/revisions\/8220"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
