NEUROLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS

Dear Students
Here I have some questions about the topics that were presented during today´s session:

How do Genie´s and Jim´s stories credit or discredit the critical period hypothesis?

How does brain lateralization support teh critical period hypothesis?

Why and how does the right hemisphere of the brain participate in second language acquisition?

Remember that next class we will have presentations about the cognitive, affective and linguistic considerations in Language acquisition. The groups from the affective considerations haven´t been given teh topics yet, please do so as soon as possible.
