PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH

1. LANGUAGES AND THE BRAIN

   • Neurolinguistics

2. LEARNING PROCESSES

   • IP (Information Processing)
     • EMERGENTISM (Nick Ellis)
       • Social environment
       • Associative learning
       • Probabilistic learning
       • Rational contingency
       • SLA is grounded and usage based
     • Anderson's Model
       • Declarative knowledge (knowledge about)
         • Explicit knowledge
       • Procedural knowledge (knowledge how)
         • Implicit knowledge
       • Working memory
     • McLaughlin
       • Controlled processing - Automatic processing
         • LOW order skills - HIGH order skills
         • Short- term memory - Long-term memory
         • Restructuring
           • U-shaped development
           • Qualitative change
         • INPUT
           • Facilitating conditions
         • OUTPUT
         • Central processing
       • Fossilization
     • Performance and power law of learning
     • Two misinterpretations
     • Multidimensional model
     • Processability
     • Competition model
   • CONNECTIONISM
     • PDP
       • Connection strenghts
     • Knowledge, attention, learning
   • Cognition
