据研究,人脑中先天就存在大约能辨认12个辅音的特征探测器,然而,他们需要环境的适当激发。过了临界期(大约9—12岁)而未予激发,这些探测器的细胞就萎缩了。这一研究,证实了乔姆斯基的转换生成理论。根据这一理论,我们就要在9—12岁以前,加紧对儿童进行语言训练。 According to research, there are intrinsically detectable feature detectors that can recognize 12 consonants in the brain. However, they need the appropriate excitation of the environment. After a critical period (about 9-12 years old) and not being stimulated, the cells of these detectors have shrunk. This study confirmed Chomsky’s transformation generation theory. According to this theory, we must step up the language training for children before the age of 9-12.
