Title: Language learning relies on brain circuits that predate humans: Evidence from typical and atypical language development

Abstract:

Increasing evidence suggests that language learning depends importantly on general-purpose learning circuits that pre-existed humans. In particular, research indicates that children learn native languages and adults learn additional languages in evolutionarily ancient circuits that are found in other vertebrates, and are used for a wide range of tasks. For example, birds rely on this circuitry to remember where they stored their hidden acorns, while rats use it to follow rule-governed grooming sequences. Converging evidence from psycholinguistic, neurological, neuroimaging, and electrophysiological studies suggests that humans also rely on these declarative and procedural learning systems for their lexical (word) and grammatical (rule-governed combination) abilities, in specific

He had Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony conducted by Toscanini, and Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. The latter made me choose the clarinet as the instrument I began studying when I was eight, which was also the time my dad started taking me to the Boston Symphony concerts. I heard one opera, which I loved but cannot identify, and the occasional ballet.

The clarinet led me to jazz. I struggled with the instrument’s upper range: Benny Goodman’s fluency and accuracy up there thrilled me. The decisive factor was hearing Louis Armstrong. My first LP was a record whose high spots I still adore: “Louis Armstrong Plays W. C. Handy.” Armstrong stuck close enough to written melodies so that I always knew where he was, and yet his variations and magnificent tone made them his own. He s
