Second language learners can hear pronunciation errors fellow learners make but tend to overestimate the quality of their own pronunciation. Read More
Zebra finches may hold the key to understanding how babies learn to talk, researchers say. Read More
Researchers report on how the brain is spurred into action by hearing certain words. They propose a new simulation theory that perceiving words can drive brain systems into states almost identical to what would be evoked by directly experiencing what the word describes. Read More
According to researchers, learning a new language may help improve brain plasticity and information encoding. Read More
