Language and the mind


Froggy Jumps Language and the mindOnline version Cognitive processes of language acquisition by Ingrid Johanna Rodriguez Granados 1 What does neuroplasticity refer to? a The brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections. b The fixed structure of the brain that cannot change after childhood. c The brain's inability to adapt to new experiences. 2 Genie Wiley was isolated until age 13 with no exposure to language during early childhood. What did scientists like Lenneberg (1967) propose about language acquisition? a Language can be fully acquired at any age without difficulty. b Language acquisition is unrelated to age. c Language must be acquired before puberty for full development. 3 In early childhood, the brain has high plasticity. What does this mean for language learning? a The brain requires huge effort to learn languages later in life. b It can easily adapt and create new neural pathways for learning. c It cannot learn new languages after early childhood. 4 Bilingual individuals who learn a second language early tend to process both languages in similar brain areas. Which areas are these? a Temporal lobe and Hippocampus b Occipital lobe and Amygdala c Broca’s Area and Wernicke’s Area 5 Which brain area is primarily associated with emotional responses to language? a Amygdala and Right hemisphere b Broca’s Area c Wernicke’s Area 6 Which brain areas are involved in memory storage and recall? a Amygdala and Right hemisphere b Broca’s Area and Wernicke’s Area c Hippocampus and Cortex 7 How are words and their meanings organized in the mental lexicon of monolinguals? a In a structured mental lexicon based on semantic features. b Randomly, without any structure. c Separately for each word, with no connections. 8 How does the brain encode, retrieve, and process words according to current research? a Words are encoded randomly without any pattern. b Neural imaging studies provide some insights but not definitive answers. c The brain does not encode words; it only retrieves them from external sources. 9 What is a key question in understanding bilingual representation? a Do monolinguals have better language comprehension than bilinguals? b Do bilinguals use only one language at a time? c Do bilinguals process languages separately or together? 10 How do Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas behave in bilinguals compared to monolinguals? a They show consistent activation patterns across languages. b They show variability and may not behave as expected. c They always activate the same regions for both languages. 11 What does the Stroop task reveal about bilingual processing? a Bilinguals process colors faster than words. b Bilinguals experience cross-language interference. c Bilinguals process words in their first language only. 12 Weinreich (1968) proposed three types of bilinguals. Which of the following is NOT one of them? a Coordinate Bilinguals b Subordinate Bilinguals c Integrated Bilinguals 13 What does the debate over separate versus shared lexicons in bilinguals focus on? a Whether bilinguals can learn more than two languages. b Whether bilinguals can switch languages easily. c Whether L1 and L2 are stored independently or together. 14 Which evidence supports the idea of a shared lexicon in bilinguals? a Cognates (similar words in both languages) are recognized faster. b Bilinguals never experience interference between languages. c Bilinguals process each language in completely separate brain areas. 15 How do bilinguals avoid confusion when both languages are active in their brains? a By relying on random selection of words from either language. b By ignoring context and focusing solely on word meaning. c By using inhibitory control to suppress one language while using the other. 16 Why do bilinguals often mix languages (code-switch)? a Because their two lexicons interact, influenced by factors like language proficiency and context. b Because they are confused and cannot distinguish between languages. c Because they have no knowledge of grammar rules. 17 In Volterra & Taeschner's three-stage model, what characterizes Stage 1 (Single Lexicon)? a The child has fully developed grammar and phonology for both languages. b The child distinguishes between languages and uses them separately. c The child does not distinguish between languages and uses words interchangeably. 18 What happens in Stage 2 (Separate Lexicons, Shared Grammar) according to Volterra & Taeschner's model? a The child uses only one language at a time without any mixing. b The child creates separate lexicons for each language but still shares grammar across languages. c The child fully distinguishes between languages in terms of vocabulary, grammar, and phonology. 19 The "Strategic or Adaptive Mechanism" view suggests that language mixing in bilingual children is: a An intentional and adaptive strategy to communicate effectively or fill gaps in knowledge. b A sign of confusion and inability to differentiate languages. c Always discouraged by caregivers. 20 Research shows that bilinguals often outperform monolinguals in certain cognitive tasks. What is the primary reason for this advantage? a Bilinguals' constant switching between languages enhances executive functions. b Bilinguals have less exposure to complex language structures. c Bilinguals use only one language at a time, simplifying their cognitive load.
