Cognitive influences on Language Learning
All conditions, strategies or processes learners have acces to while learning a foreign language (IEXPRO, 2020, p.5)
There are 4 factors related , two of them are:
INTELLIGENCE OR "G" FACTOR
GARDENER 1985
Claimed the existence of MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES
Logico-mathematic/ Linguistic/ Spatial/ Musical/ Bodily-Kinesthetic/ Interpersonal/ Intrapersonal/ Naturalistic/ Spiritual.
It is present in all learners
Measured by IQ tests
Represents an important factor in SLA (under formal instruction)
GENESEE (1976) & EKSTRAND (1977) show that:
Intelligence may influence acquisition of some L2 skills
Reading, writing,, language analysis and vocabulary study.
Oral fluency and skills are less likely influenced by intelligence
APTITUDE
Natural ability people have to perform different actions, such as SLA.
CAROLL & SAPON
Created the Modern Language Aptitude Test
Identified 4 main components:
Phonetic/ Phonemic coding ability
Grammatical sensitivity
Inductive language learning ability
Rote learning ability
BIALSTOK, FROHLICH (1978), KRASHEN (1981) maintained that:
Aptitude can´t be trained as they consider it unmodifiable in SLA
SKEBA (1989) believed that:
Aptitude factor has to involve adapting classes according to the learners´characteristics (learner centered).
It´s different from intelligence
The other 2 factors related are also:
COGNITIVE STYLE
It is how learners perceive, "monitor, conceptualise and recalls linguistic information" (IEXPRO, 2020, p. 11)
BROWN (1973)
It is a combination of cognition and affect
Identified 4 variables:
Reflective-impulsive thinking.
Broad-narrow categorizing
Skeletonizing-embroidering
Belief congruence-contradiction
WITKIN (1962, 1971)
Designed a test (Group Embedded Test)
Used to identify and measure
Field dependent people
People who can´t difference between figures from the gorund (holistic view)
Field independent people
People capable to separate figuires from the ground & essential from inessential elements. (analytic view)
SKEHAN
Field dependent person: Person oriented, sensitive towards other people.
Field independent: Less sensitive, object oriented, cerebral.
REID (1987)
WILLING (1987)
OTHER LEARNING STYLES
Concrete, Analytic, Communicative, Authority-oriented.
OTHER LEARNIG TENDENCIES
Visual, Auditory, Kinaesthetic, Tactile.
LEARNING STRATEGIES

O´MALLEY (1985), ELLIS 1985), WENDEN & RUBIN (1987), WILLING (1988), OXFORD & CROOKHALL (1989)
