9. How does learning (not only language learning) happen in the brain?

10. Arrange this in a logical order: Researches are 1) that occur during the learning process – 2) from the first try to a completely learned skill 3) to measure changes in brain activity 4) using functional magnetic resonance imaging http://www.unt.edu/untresearch/2006-2007/newsbriefs.htm Get them involved and keep their motivation * Cardiff 2009

13. Neurones and synapses TRUE -FALSE Learning takes place when neuronscommunicate with each other. When neurones receive sensorial inputs they form extensions called dendrites The axon is a long thin fibre which starts from a neurone and stretches towards another neurone. Dendrites and neurones make up networks, the point of conjunction is called synapse The liquids which make neurones communicate are theneurotransmiters http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/11/nanoneural-upgr.html#more Get them involved and keep their motivation * Cardiff 2009
