SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF BRAIN NEURAL NETWORKS IN INTERNAL PROCESSING OF CHINESE LANGUAGE COGNITION

Abstract

Language and brain are closely related, so language skill teaching can be developed scientifically based on the cognitive characteristics of brain neural network. Cognitive neuroscience points out that each cognitive process needs to be accomplished in a specific brain neural network. The brain networks of different cognitive processes have the same part and different parts. Based on this theory, this paper attempts to find out the cognitive neuro-theoretical basis which can guide the teaching of Chinese language. It was found that the two cognitive processes of Chinese, namely reading comprehension and speech comprehension, present the differences and the similarities of brain neural network. It is also suggested that reading and listening should be combined in teaching.
