The filter theory and attention resource theory in the attention theory points out that attention has a key effect on the learner's cognitive vocabulary learning by raising students' expectations for new words, by increasing the frequency of exposure to them, by enhancing their perceptual salience, and by increasing the task demand for word study. The fact proves that enhancing attention in input could promote students' vocabulary acquisition and help them form efficient vocabulary learning strategy suitable for their levels of proficiency.展开更多
文摘This paper analyzes attention theory in the cognitive psychology and introduces second language vocabulary acquisition. The filter theory and attention resource theory in the attention theory points out that attention has a key effect on the learner's cognitive vocabulary learning by raising students' expectations for new words, by increasing the frequency of exposure to them, by enhancing their perceptual salience, and by increasing the task demand for word study. The fact proves that enhancing attention in input could promote students' vocabulary acquisition and help them form efficient vocabulary learning strategy suitable for their levels of proficiency.
