Abstract:This study addresses how the acquisition of a foreign language as an adult affects their brain by conducting an experimental study of research on recent theories about the topic and whether if the acquisition is beneficial or not to their brain connections. The hypothesis is that mature adults can learn a new foreign language, although their capacity may vary due to cognitive changes and prior language exposure. This was tested across eighteen mature adults that have learnt or are learning a foreign language using a questionnaire made of twenty different questions. The results suggest that learning a foreign language as an adult rewires their brain and is beneficial for their cognitive health.
