Although many other cortical areas are involved in self processing, recent neuroimaging studies indicate a key role for the temporo-parietal junction. This is not only true for out of body experiences but also for many aspects of body and self proces...

Given that these processes are present in discourse production, they indicate a significant role of speech production in foreign language learning. Furthermore, they serve as predictors of learni...
