    Two seemingly contradictory investigations. People with lower blood sugar fared better at memory tests, but is there a direct link between better memory and sugar, or is lower sugar levels indicative of greater dietary awareness, which may accompany better general awareness, including a metacognitive awareness propitious to all cognitive functions, including memory? Then a link to a report suggesting CHOCOLATE is good for the memory! WHat's the answer? Sugar-free chocolate?!

  • images they used linked the shapes of the alphabet letters with images of Japanese words that begin with those letters
  • Daniel Barber on 11 Jan 14
     
    Evidence for pedagogic sense in involving learners' knowledge of L1 to aid their acquisition of L2. Learners associate English letters with Japanese words as a mnemonic. Also, explicit differentiation of the two language systems' phonic systems seems to help better understanding of English in Japanese children.

  • Coming out of an era of rapid advances in computer technology, the idea of a discrete, common origin to human language made intuitive sense.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Further study revealed that the FOXP2 gene is relevant to multiple mental abilities and is not strictly a language gene at all.
  • The same gene that regulated language so strongly also regulated other mental faculties, so its very existence appeared to contradict rather than strengthen the idea that language commands its own territory separate from other areas of the brain.
  • the language-as-island idea is also inconsistent with the way evolution typically works. “What I don’t like about the ‘module’ is the idea that it evolved from scratch somehow. In my view, it’s more that existing neural circuits have been adapted for language and speech.
  • language relies on a surprisingly broad neural support system
  • -month-old babies show activation in a number of different brain regions when they hear speech, inclu
  • ding in the cerebellum, which is important for coordinating motor movements
  • The problem with ‘gene for x’ or ‘grammar module y’ is they ignore how something that is the property of an individual is linked to something that is the property of a community
  • language is a distributed object
  • across the human brain and across generations of people

    Beautifullywritten argument for a messy evolution of language in community and across the brain, not boxed in to a language organ.
