{"pk":6983,"title":"Towards a Model of Language Attrition: Neurobiological and Psychological Contributions","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Research in L2 attrition is a relatively new enterprise which is in need of a comprehensive theory/model. This paper presents a tentative cognitive-psychological model of language attrition, which draws on information from studies in L2 attrition, neurobiology, and psychology. This is to demonstrate that a model based on consideration of the brain has the potential of providing a plausible account of the process of language attrition, as well as the process of language acquisition.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Applied Linguistics"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1013h774","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Asako","middle_name":"","last_name":"Yoshitomi","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Los Angeles","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2010-07-21T07:00:00Z","date_accepted":"2010-07-21T07:00:00Z","date_published":"1992-12-30T08:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ial/article/6983/galley/4104/download/"}]}
