Description
In this major experimental study Peter Robinson casts new light on issues of central concern to second language acquisition theory and pedagogy. His Fundamental Similarity Hypothesis relates such current issues in SLA theory as the nature of implicit-explicit learning, the role of 'noticing', and focus-on-form versus meaning-only-processing, to recent work in mainstream cognitive psychology, suggesting a reinterpretation of the familiar acquisition/learning distinction.
