Exploring the neurocognition of second language processing
Lee Osterhout, University of Washington

Language processing is fundamentally a function of the human brain. This symposium will review recent brain-based evidence that might help us understand how people acquire a second language, how they process it at various stages of fluency, and what factors might facilitate or inhibit their eventual success.
