The brain stuff, I did my Master's thesis on it, so I would have to go to the library and dig it out. I haven't seen my thesis in a long time. However, Carlson has done a lot of work on brain physiology. Also, and you are familiar with this, so you can help me post some references, most of the research on language processing comes from the research on Werniekes' (sp?) and Brocca's area. Kimura (I believe) has done research on the processing of Kanji and Kana symbols by the brain (pictographically and phonetically). I called wernieke's and Brocca"s the language porcessing center in my little triangle. The occipital lobe was what I called the sight processing center, and the frontal lobe is what I called the movement processing center. Since, I know that you have done research on the brain, you can probably shed some additional light on this. The stuff on the stages of reading language acquisition, 1) single words, 2) short, one-clause, sentences 3-5) processing of language formally and intellectually comes mainly from Carol Chomsky and also from Piaget. Also, the literacy limitations of adults comes from NALS. Finally, the stuff on context interference with learning comes, descriptively, from Jonathan Kozhol. However, I don't believe that there are any experiments done where children are shocked while being asked to learn. Although there may be lots of experiments like that done with adults by cognitive psychologist. However, that is an example where you can replace science with intuition, and you can assume that if children are suffering cold, hunger, chaos and pain they will likely not learn regardless of what we do. The entire Frankfurt School, Jonathan Kozhol, the critical pedagogists, and most people with common sense make that assumption, even though quigley and Ogbu, have further argued that school emotional resistance may lead to children's refusal to learn. There is also stuff done by Trueba, Vox, Delgado Gaytan, Cummins, et al on children's barriers to learning. If you want the specific references, I would have to dig them out, but it'll take some time and effort. You can plug the names and topics into your browser, and i am sure that you can dig them out. Hope this helps, Andres In a message dated 2/15/2004 10:27:05 AM Eastern Standard Time, AWilder106@aol.com writes: >Andres, > >Would you please include citations for your assertions?
