{"Image DocumentName": "Language Transfer Language Transfer", "Image ImageDescription": "Where the two languages were identical, learning could take place through positive transfer to the native-language pattern. Where the two languages were different, learning difficulty arose and errors occurred resulting from negative transfer. Chomsky (1959) set in motion a re-evaluation of many of the behaviorists claims. This re-evaluation included area such as: the dangers of extrapolating from laboratory studies of animal behavior to the language behavior of humans were pointed out; the terms stimulus and response were exposed as vacuous where language behavior was concerned; analogy could not account for the language user\u2019s ability to generate totally novel utterances; and. studies of children acquiring their L1 showed that parents rarely corrected their children\u2019s linguistic errors, thus casting doubt on the importance of reinforcement in language learning. All this led to the reconsideration of the role of L1 in L2 learning.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
