45、r changed over time, to permit people to speak and write.Michael Ullman, the lead researcher, a professor at Georgetown University Medical School in Washington, DC, has been studying language learning for more than 20 years.Ullman says his research shows that the human brain does not have a special

46、area or system for making language. Over time we have simply reused or co-opted(指派) parts of our brain for language. And those parts, he says, are ancient-older even than humans themselves.This study examines the theoretical framework(準則) that language is learned, stored and processed in two ancient

47、 learning and memory systems in the brain.Ullman, Hamrick and the rest of the team looked at data from 16 other studies on language. They found that people learn language using two memory systems: declarative and procedural. Memorizing vocabulary, for example, is a declarative memory process. But le

48、arning grammar is, mostly, a procedural memory process.Declarative memory, in humans at least, is what we think of as learning memory, such as, Oh, remember what you said last night or things like that. And procedural motor memory is what we often call motor memory such as how you learn to ride a bi

49、cycle. Or, Ullman adds, These procedural memory skills become so deeply leaned that we are no longer aware that we are doing them.However, Ullman explains that the two long-term memory systems can share tasks. And, he ads, the adult brain uses the systems to learn language a bit differently than a c

50、hilds brain.Adult language learners of a second language may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns. They think about it purposefully. For a child, the grammar may come more naturally. They dont have to think about the grammar rules before speaking.In addition to language learners,

51、Ullmans study could help people who have a brain injury that affects speaking and writing. This knowledge can also help those who have learning disabilities such as dyslexia(閱讀障礙). People with dyslexia have difficulty recognizing words and symbols accurately.1、How did Ullman study humans memory syst

52、ems?ABy examining the brain with his team.BBy studying language learning over years.CBy comparing different languages year after year.DBy referring to data from other studies on language.2、Which of the following is an example of motor memory?ALearning to make a model plane.BRemembering the grammar p

53、atternsCRepeating what you heard.DMemorizing what you read.3、What does the underlined word it refer to?ADeclarative memory.BAn adult language learner.CUsing grammar patterns.DA second language.4、Whats the main idea of the text?AUllman has advanced our language understanding.BA new research helps peo
