Interpreting computer code activates general-purpose brain networks, but not language processing areas. Read More
Our brains work harder to process information when we read about movement in a way that is not typical of our native languages. Read More
A new dataset is available for researchers to investigate individual differences in adult language learning. Read More
The human brain contains a perspective-adjusted neural representation for factual information and more elusive cortical signaling representing the computations of possibilities. Read More
Study reveals grammar is evident and widespread in communication based on tactile interaction. The findings reveal that if one or more linguistic channel is unavailable, such as hearing or vision, structures will find another way to create formal categories. Read More
Adults use similar neural mechanisms to learn novel languages as children do when learning how to process language. Read More
Taking turns in "conversations" with adult caregivers synchronizes activity in language areas of the infant brain. Read More
Certain types of interactions between parents and babies result in greater infant vocabulary. Read More
Learning a new language as an adult alters hemisphere specialization for comprehension, but not for production. Read More
