背景情况:
- 遗产发言者 (HS) 和晚期双语者 (LB) 经常被作为不同的群体研究,忽视语言能力的个体差异.
- 之前关于双语的研究很少使用隐性测量方法,如瞳孔测量来评估语言处理.
- 诸如语言接触和使用等因素在双语者之间波动,这些因素至关重要,但往往没有被检查.
研究的目的:
- 在西班牙语/英语遗产发言者 (HS) 和晚期双语者 (LB) 中调查学生对语法岛屿构造的反应.
- 为了比较组成员的预测能力与语法处理上的语言使用.
- 探索个体变异在理解双语语言能力方面的作用.
主要方法:
- 瞳孔测量被用来测量对语言刺激的潜意识反应.
- 两组西班牙语/英语双语者 (HS和LB) 在处理语法岛屿结构方面进行了测试.
- 一般化添加混合效应模型 (GAMMs) 用于分析学生计量数据,将基于组的模型与包含语言使用变量的模型进行比较.
主要成果:
- 基于组的模型在语法处理方面产生了相互矛盾的结果.
- 缩小小组并将当前的西班牙语使用作为连续变量的模型产生了一致的结果.

01:27Language and Cognition
375
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

01:10Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language
917
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

01:22Language Development
397
Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

01:24Components of Language
320
Language, whether spoken, signed, or written, consists of specific components: lexicon and grammar. The lexicon is the vocabulary of a language, comprising its words. Grammar is the set of rules used to convey meaning through the lexicon. For example, English grammar adds “-ed” to most verbs to indicate past tense. Words are formed by combining phonemes, which are the basic sound units of a language. Different languages have different sets of phonemes (e.g., “ah” vs.

01:28Lateralization
364
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.
