The Bilingual Brain

P10
Answer:
1: Karl Kim and Joy Hirsch
2: In the lab of Joy Hirsch,a neuroscientist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
3: The researchers study the brains of two group of bilingual people.
4: Wernicke's area and Broca's area.
5: They found people use the same part of Wernicke's area no matter what language they speaking.But their use of Broca's area was different for their second language.
6: a Language is being hard-wired in children,the brain combine sounds and strctures from languages into the same area.But different languages have different combines,must be taken over by different part of brain.
    b We aquire language differently as children than we do as adults.



summary
  Karl Kim is a graduate student in the lab of Joy Hirsch.They discovered evidence that children and adults do not use the same parts of the brain when learing a second language.The researchers used fMRI to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people.One is learned a second language as children.The other is learned second language later in life.They looked specifically at two language centers in the brain.The part of brains are Wernicke's area and Broca's area.Later,they found people use the same part of Wernicke's area no matter what language they speaking.But their use of Broca's area was different for their second language.Because language is being hard-wired in children,the brain combine sounds and strctures from languages into the same area.But different languages have different combines,must be taken over by different part of brain. Another reason is our aquire language differently as children than we do as adults.
