学习外语 不易痴呆

学习外语　不易痴呆

瑞典科学家以瑞士军队翻译学院的年轻士兵作为对象，测量他们在接受语言训练前后，大脑所产生的变化。

瑞士军队翻译学院的特色是让学员学习一种先前完全陌生的语言，13个月后要流利地对话。

该学院的新兵从早晨学到晚上，从周一到周末，高强度地、迅速地学习新语言。

研究人员将翻译学院的学生与另一组大学生做了比较，那组大学生不接受外语训练。

两组学生在3个月各自强化学习前后，接受了核磁共振（MRI）扫描。

结果显示，没有学习新语言的人，大脑结构保持不变，而学习新语言的学生，大脑的特定部分，包括：海马体（负责学习新知识的大脑深层结构）的面积开始增长。先前也有研究发现，说双语或多种语言的人，不易患阿尔茨海默氏病。
