  2. Language processing in the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_processing_in_the...

    In the last two decades, significant advances occurred in our understanding of the neural processing of sounds in primates. Initially by recording of neural activity in the auditory cortices of monkeys [18] [19] and later elaborated via histological staining [20] [21] [22] and fMRI scanning studies, [23] 3 auditory fields were identified in the primary auditory cortex, and 9 associative ...

  3. Assimilation (phonology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assimilation_(phonology)

    Assimilation is a sound change in which some phonemes (typically consonants or vowels) change to become more similar to other nearby sounds. A common type of phonological process across languages, assimilation can occur either within a word or between words. It occurs in normal speech but becomes more common in more rapid speech.

  4. Piaget's theory of cognitive development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaget's_theory_of...

    Piaget believed that the human brain has been programmed through evolution to bring equilibrium, which is what he believed ultimately influences structures by the internal and external processes through assimilation and accommodation. [18] Piaget's understanding was that assimilation and accommodation cannot exist without the other. [22]

  5. Neurolinguistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurolinguistics

    Research in first language acquisition has already established that infants from all linguistic environments go through similar and predictable stages (such as babbling), and some neurolinguistics research attempts to find correlations between stages of language development and stages of brain development, [27] while other research investigates ...

  6. Language center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_center

    In neuroscience and psychology, the term language center refers collectively to the areas of the brain which serve a particular function for speech processing and production. [1] Language is a core system that gives humans the capacity to solve difficult problems and provides them with a unique type of social interaction . [ 2 ]

  7. Language shift - Wikipedia

    Then, in mixed-language marriages, children would speak the "higher-status" language, yielding the language/Y-chromosome correlation seen today. Assimilation is the process whereby a speech-community becomes bilingual and gradually shifts allegiance to the second language.

  8. American Sign Language phonology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Sign_Language...

    Spoken language creates sounds, which affects the auditory cortices in the superior temporal lobes. Sign language creates visual stimuli, which affects the occipitotemporal regions. Yet both modes of language still activate many of the same regions that are known for language processing in the brain. [15] For example, the left superior temporal ...

  9. Language acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_acquisition

    It was concluded that the brain does in fact process languages differently [clarification needed], but rather than being related to proficiency levels, language processing relates more to the function of the brain itself. [129] During early infancy, language processing seems to occur over many areas in the brain.
