EEG resting-state and event-related potentials as a marker of learning success in older adults following second language training: new paper out by Martin Meyer in Brain Plasticity
A recently published paper by an UZH group including department member Martin Meyer entitled "EEG resting-state and event-related potentials as a marker of learning success in older adults following second language training" is now out in Brain Plasticity. The authors demonstrate that all older participants who partook in a second language learning class improved their L2 skills but differed noticably in their individual development.
