Summary
The topic that I plan to explore in this essay involves looking at the past and present in order to have a better understanding of the future. There are essentially three parts to my research. First, I want to explore what happens to the brain biologically when it must learn something new. In order to do this, I will turn to research that studies language acquisition in infants, second language acquisition and what happens to the brain when it becomes literate (literacy for the purposes of this paper defined as reading and writing). I believe that studying the functions of the brain when it is introduced to these phenomena should give a better understanding about the effects of language and literacy on a person’s thoughts and perceptions of the world.
