BRAIN MECHANISM OF JAPANESE LANGUAGE LEARNERS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL EPIPHANY PROCESS: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM TEST
Abstract
Psychological epiphany is an important topic in brain neuroscience. However, there is little report on the brain mechanism in psychological epiphany process of Japanese learning. Drawing on heuristic theory, this paper carries out an electroencephalogram (EEG) experiment of Japanese language teaching. The experiment consists of three phases, namely, pre-test, learning and post-test. Based on the measured EEG data, the author analyzed the brain mechanism in the preparatory phase, problem-raising phase and the mastery phase of Japanese language learning. The results show that, in the preparatory phase before the experiment, archetype inspiration helps the neural network to process, integrate and fuse the information, thus solving the issues arising in Japanese language learning; in this phase, negative deflection is common in the event related potentials (ERP) of the brain under the presence of psychological epiphany, but not common in the absence of psychological epiphany; the negative components of ERP, originating from the anterior cingulate gyrus, enhance the efficiency Japanese language learning and solve issues of psychological epiphany, through the suppression of irrelevant thoughts and promotion of the acquisition of key information.
