Abstract:Aims: Previous research showed that short-term second language training
modulates children’s brain responses. However, little is known about how
well young children’s brains process second language-related information
acquired from short-term usage of language-immersive apps. Methodology:
To examine this, we compared the auditory event-related potential (ERP)
to non-native language words learnt via language-immersive applications
(apps), as compared to those learnt via digital flash cards, in
3-5-year-old chil… Show more
