Sensory rich visual association for language learning

Associative Memory - Learning At All Levels from Science Daily “Green” means “go,” but what does “red” mean? Just about everybody says “stop” since we all have learned to imbue certain colors with meaning. Long thought to be limited to higher levels of information processing, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies successfully traced this type of associative learning to early stages of the visual processing pathway.”Sensory neurons in the visual cortex that handle incoming information are very plastic and what they ’see’ is determined by our experience in the world,” says lead investigator Thomas D. Albright, director of the Vision Center Laboratory. Their findings, reported in the March 14 issue of the journal Neuron, will help scientists to better understand how such learning takes place in the brain based on our daily experiences.

LearnFast language learning software is largely based on the idea that learning should be sensory rich. Particularly rich in visual images. If you learn to associate rich (colorful and interesting)images to sounds in your target language, your learning will be easier and more enjoyable.
