Memory Theory

Paper Summary:

This paper describes the author's efforts at learning the language of Argentina during a semester of school in that country and how, in her efforts at learning the language, she spontaneously employed concepts and theories associated with memory theory.

From the Paper:

"I had the opportunity to study abroad in Argentina for a semester. To maximize the experience, I completely immersed myself in the culture and language. Initially, this was exhausting and it was necessary to take frequent breaks and even naps to integrate what I had just experienced. Many times words and phrases escaped my grasp but I learned to relax and concentrate on the gist of the exchange, using verbal cues, body and facial gestures, context, and the overriding emotions to assist me in this endeavor. Naturally, the combination of a relaxed attitude and continual exposure fostered within me more accurate listening and speaking skills."
