How is language connected to memory?
\nScientific studies have proven that there is a close relationship between four key elements: learning \u2013 memory \u2013 the brain \u2013 language.
\nA notable experiment was conducted on a group of military personnel under the supervision of Johan Marnson. The goal was to determine the effect of learning a new language on the brain. The hypothesis was confirmed: the group that learned a new language showed unusual activity in the memory areas of the brain. Brain activity was measured before and after three months for both the group that learned a language and the group that did not.
\nThe results showed that learning a new foreign language stimulates memory and fundamentally enhances brain performance.
\nAdditionally, John Anderson\u2019s ACT theory demonstrated that learning a new language activates three types of memory:
\nProcedural Memory (Habits): Helps in understanding sentence structures and vocabulary.
\nSemantic Memory: Stores general knowledge and the meanings of words.
\nDeclarative or Personal Memory: Connects personal experiences with language use.
\nIn conclusion, learning a new foreign language, especially English due to its global importance, makes the memory area of the brain more active and increases its capacity compared to those who do not learn a new language.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":23137,"template":"","class_list":["post-5380","blogs","type-blogs","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
