Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Changes in brain activation in response to language listening are primarily driven by vocabulary knowledge. This is supported by various studies utilizing event-related potentials (ERPs) which have shown that individuals with larger vocabularies have greater and more differentiated brain activity in response to language stimuli. Brain maturation and neuronal myelination may also contribute to changes in brain activation, but vocabulary knowledge is the primary driver. Motor development is not directly related to language listening and brain activation.
