Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship among foreign language proficiency level, language processing indices, and brain activity. This study revealed that there is no strong relationship between proficiency level and processing speed, but the processing speed of the foreign sentence comprehension correlates with that of the first language sentence comprehension. Regarding the relationship between foreign sentence comprehension speed can be estimated by the brain activity data.
