Q

Nativist view Chomsky

A
  • Grammar is not learned in a step by step manner, it is based on repeated exposure
  • Acquisition, not learning

  • Inhibiton, updating and shifting
48
Q

Billingualism and executive function

A
  • Bilinguals train inhibition because of suppression of inference form the other language, and in interactive settings they train attentional shifting, monitoring of cues and goals-> Brian training
49
Q

Discussion executive functions

A
  • Effect is vooral voor kinderen
  • ## Niet alle studies vinden deze effecten
