| In immersion foreign language learning, adults attain, retain native speaker brain pattern Posted: 28 Mar 2012 02:22 PM PDT In a series of studies, researchers demonstrate that the kind of exposure you have to a foreign language can determine whether you achieve native-language brain processing, and that learning under immersion conditions may be more effective in reaching this goal than typical classroom training.
