No Offer Description How people learn a second language (L2) is rarely investigated from the perspective of neurocognitive memory research. Together with our team, you will investigate the role of different memory systems in L2 word and grammar learning across different individuals and learning situations and with different methods, ranging from behavioural to brain imaging techniques. We are only slowly beginning to understand the different ways in which memories can be formed and retained in long-term memory. Different memory systems in our brain (e.g. the hippocampus vs. neocortical structures) are involved, depending not only on whether and how long ago the information was learned, but probably also on the individual learner, the type of learning material and the learning situation. As part of the team of the ERC consolidator project 'MultiMemoryL2 - Multiple routes to memory for a second language', you will contribute to the study of how different memory systems are used for L2 word, pronunciation and grammar learning, and how this differs between individuals and learning contexts. The project makes use of behavioural, electrophysiological and brain imaging techniques. You will collaborate with the project team, consisting of several junior researchers, as well as with project leader Prof. Kristin Lemhöfer. Your main tasks ...
