Language development findings may aid brain injury treatmentRSS Feed
Newly-discovered differences in how humans learn verbs and nouns could have wider implications for brain injury treatment, researchers have suggested.
A study by European scientists has shown that verb learning processes can switch between different parts of the brain, while learning nouns activates the left fusiform gyrus region.
The findings, which have been published in the journal Neuroimage, are consistent with previous studies which have shown patients with brain injury to exhibit a dissociation in processing different kinds of words.
Commenting on the findings, co-author at the Cognition and Brain Plasticity Unit of the University of Barcelona Antoni Rodriguez-Fornells underlined the importance of the findings for future neural learning studies.
He said that the research provides evidence of "the degree to which we use different information in verbal contexts, as well as possibly different neural networks, in learning different kinds of words with different grammatical functions".
Meanwhile, recent research by scientists at the University of Bristol suggests that the brain may be capable of recalling forgotten languages when exposed to the right environmental markers.
