19、 language learning for more than 20 years.Ullman says his research shows that the human brain does not have a special 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 them

20、selves.This study examines the theoretical framework(准则) that language is learned, stored and processed in two ancient 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 m

21、emory systems: declarative and procedural. Memorizing vocabulary, for example, is a declarative memory process. But learning 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

22、or things like that. And procedural motor memory is what we often call motor memory such as how you learn to ride a bicycle. 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 memo

23、ry systems can share tasks. And, he ads, the adult brain uses the systems to learn language a bit differently than a childs 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 c
