Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The current study examined whether there is a statistical relationship between foreign language processing speed and its proficiency level, and between foreign language processing speed and its brain activity. The psycho-physiological experiment showed that there is no clear relationship between foreign language processing speed and its proficiency level by using self-paced reading task, but the fMRI experiment showed that brain activation data can statistically predict foreign language processing speed.
