The cerebral basis for language learner strategies: A near-infrared spectroscopy study 40206941 Takeuchi, Osamu 竹内, 理 00425323 Ikeda, Maiko 池田, 真生子 80454768 Mizumoto, Atsushi 水本, 篤 brain imaging learner strategy working memory reading strategy Macaro's framework 関西大学 Kansai University In this paper, we validate Macaro's (2006) model of strategy use among language learners by assessing the amount of neural activity around the prefrontal cortex, the supposed locus of working memory (WM). We also examine whether WM activation during first language (L1) strategy deployment is lower than WM activation during second language (L2) strategy deployment, as predicted by Macaro's model. In theanalysis, we consider data obtained through an innovative neuroimaging technique (nearinfrared spectroscopy) and stimulated-recall interviews. The results reveal greater brain activity during execution of the L1 and L2 tasks than in a control condition; further, use of strategies in the L2 resulted in stronger WM activation than use of strategies in the L1. These results provide partial support for the validity of Macaro's model.
