This paper argues for a theory of lexical acquisition which takes syntactic transfer effects in bilinguals and overgeneralization in monolinguals to be manifestations of the same underlying mechanism. The theory views both transfer and overgeneralization as epiphenomena of an updating system which spreads newly acquired information across paradigms. A consequence of this set up is that both tra...

Learning about fractions is a critical step on the path to high school mathematics, yet many children never master basic knowledge such as fraction arithmetic procedures. To better understand these difficulties, the present study describes a computational model of fraction arithmetic problem solving. The model demonstrates that the majority of empirically observed errors over all four arithmeti...

This paper presents a systematic review of relevant published studies on the influence L1 ESL students’ writing from year 2004 until 2021. attempts to address two research questions; i.e. what are effects caused by interference students' language and remedies overcome such errors in writing.

Evolution’s view Many optical illusions have evolutionary survival value, and thus many are hard-wired. We can train ourselves to be less influenced by such illusions, but we can’t eliminate them entirely. The analogous errors of the cognitive system are what I call cognitive illusions (or distortions in orthodox cognitive behavioural therapy literature). Overgeneralization is a common cognitiv...

This research examined different types of writing errors performed by Islamic Vocational High School students undertaking the Arabic course. The current study also discussed plausible causes committed students. A mixed-method approach was used to investigate and analyze a corpus students’ writing. data were collected through documentation obtained from essays tenth eleventh-grade with 40 respon...

The theory views both overgeneralization and transfer as epiphenomena of an updating system which spreads newly acquired information across paradigms.

The central question in the current research is whether the prosodic structure of the first language (L1) influences production of word stress in Dutch as a second language (DSL). In Dutch the position of word stress can be predicted on the basis of phonological and morphological rules, but there are many exceptions to these rules. In the current investigation existing Dutch words were used, va...
