| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The following findings were obtained regarding the similarities and/or dissimilarities of brain activation of Japanese learners during the written tasks and conversation. Both the prefrontal cortex and the language areas were more activated during conversation than during the written tasks. The hemispheric dominance could not be generalized to each individual or task. It seemed to reflect the complexity of brain activities due to the different learning stages and language tasks. The rearrangement tasks activated the brain the most. In that respect, they were closer to the conversation tasks. As far as the examined upper-intermediate learners were concerned, the four-option multiple-choice tasks or Japanese reading comprehension tasks exhibited a higher degree of similarities. In terms of whether we should use oxy-hemoglobin or deoxy-hemoglobin as the main indicator for the experiment, we confirmed the importance of continuing to pay attention to the deoxy-hemoglobin data.
