Interesting point about adults acquiring language through the left side of the brain vs. children acquiring through both hemispheres. I wonder whether that is nature or nurture -- does it reflect changes in brain structure in adulthood, or does it reflect the ways in which each respective group tends to learn languages?
- zzzcpan 7y agoThat point is actually about emotions. I think what it means is that children are only developing brain circuity related to emotions and so develop emotional associations with the words in a second language, while adults already did and can understand, control and ignore emotions better and do not develop emotional associations with the words in a second language, or at least not as much.
