A Behavioral and Electrophysiological Investigation of Different Aptitudes for L2 Grammar in Learners Equated for Proficiency Level
Year: 2008
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The declarative/ procedural (DP) model (Ullman, 2004), a neurocognitive model, posits that for late-learned second languages (L2s), both lexicon and grammar initially depend on declarative memory.With increased exposure, the DP model predicts that aspects of grammar become dependent on procedural memory.The DP model differs from modular accounts (Schwartz & Sprouse, 2000), emergentist models (Ellis, 2008;MacWhinney, 2008), and other models that invoke the declarative/procedural distinction (DeKeyser, 2007;Paradis, 2004).
