Contributions of Episodic Memory to Novel Word Learning

Assignment Task

Question

1. Previous studies used a verbal measurement of episodic memory and concluded that there was a reliance on episodic memory for L2 learning. What is the other possible explanation for the finding that episodic memory and L2 learning were related? How does this study eliminate that explanation ?

2. Why did the authors of this study choose to study more proficient (i.e., more experienced and skilled) late bilinguals, as opposed to previous studies that looked at word acquisition?

3. Briefly (approx. 1 sentence) summarize the main finding from this study. What implications does this finding have for how we teach second languages to adults?

4. Choose one of the limitations of this study other than sample size and describe how you would design a new study to resolve that limitation.
