Similarly, Acheson and MacDonald (2009b) argue that the mechanisms used in verbal recall tasks and language production are the same and that language and memory tasks are therefore best seen as reflecting a general language construct.
Studies have found that children who know more than one language are better at switching between tasks, and those who continue speaking multiple languages throughout their life can look forward to having better "cognitive flexibility" and a sharper brain in old age than those who only spoke one language in their adult life. .
Pyun (2013) studied the relationship between task-based language learning and learning motivation and anxiety.
Findings are inconsistent and conflicting however, most likely due to use of different language tasks and inconsistent control over in-scanner task performance and language proficiency.
By means of this modeling language, it is possible to model the platform, the mapping between tasks and processing cores.
Although previous studies have reported shared activation for action (or action observation) and language [8], [17]- activations typically interpreted in support of the embodied semantics framework [20], [21]- those previous studies could not comment on differential activations between action and language, since their stimuli widely differed between action and language tasks.
Participants completed a series of language measures to assess the relationship between brain activity and language function, and lateralization of task-related activity was assessed.
Like real-world tasks, such as asking for directions, TBLL seeks to develop students' language through providing a task and then using language to solve it.
However, the abilities measured by sentence repetition tasks are as yet poorly understood (Alloway & Gathercole, 2005a; Riches, 2012) and there are different accounts of the relationship between sentence repetition and language skills.
Claims of a close relationship between sentence repetition ability and language skills has gained support from studies of immediate verbal memory, as sentence repetition tasks have similar demands to other immediate verbal memory tasks.
