2. The cognitive domain of humans behavior
is of key importance in the acquisition of
both: a first and a second language.
The processes of perceiving, attending,
storing and recalling are central to the task
of internalizing a language.

4.  • Ausubel's believes that learning of new
knowledge relies on what is already known.
That is, construction of knowledge begins
with our observation and recognition of
events and objects through concepts we
already have. We learn by constructing a
network of concepts and adding to them.
 • Ausubel also stresses the importance of
reception rather than discovery learning, and
meaningful rather than rote learning.

5. Roger is not as concerned about the actual
cognitive process of learning because he
feels if the context for learning is properly
created, then human beings will, in fact,
learn everything they need to.

6. 1. Signal learning
2. Stimulus-Response learning
3. chaining
4. Verbal asociation
5. Multiple Descrimination
6. Concept learning
7.Principle learning
8. Problem solving

7. The Second Language learning in general
occurs in the total language process that
can be further efficiently categorized and
sequenced in congnitive terms by means
of the eight types of learning

8.  Transfer: It has to do with the carryover of
previous knowledge to subsequent learning.
Ex: positive and negative transfer
 Interference: A previous item is incorrectly
transferred or associated with an item to be
learned.
 Overgeneralization: Meaningful learning is
generalization. It is a process that occurs as
the second language learner acts within the
target language, generalizing a particular rule
or item in the second language.

9. • Inductive reasoning: one stores a number
of specific instances and induces a general
law that governs the specific instances.
• Deductive reasoning: is a movement from
a generalization to specific instances.

10.  Aptitude: some people have a better aptitude to learn a
second language.
Risk-taking, behavior, memory efficiency, intelligent
guessing, and ambiguity tolerance are some aptitudes
cited.
 • Intelligence: according to Howard Gardner (1983)
there are seven forms of intelligence:
 1. Linguistic
 2. Logica-mathematical
 3. Spatial
 4. Musical
 5. Bodily-kinesthetic
 6. Interpersonal
 7. Intrapersonal

11. There are three types of smartness:
1. Componential ability for analytical
thinking
2. Experiential ability to engage in creative
thinking, combining disparate experiences
in insightful ways.
3. Contextual ability: “Street smartness”
that enables people to “play the game” of
manipulating their environment.

12. 1.Audiolingualism
2. Suggestopedia
3. The silent way
4. Total physical response
5. The natural approach

13. Comprehensible input is the exposure to
interesting and understandable listening
and reading material. We acquire language
when we understand messages.
