本文介绍了认知心理学的最新理论发展，可以应用于第二语言习得，并使用该理论来分析在第二语言文献中经常讨论的现象。语言学理论在处理心理过程在第二语言习得中的作用方面存在一些局限性，并概述了当前的认知学习理论。然后，本文探讨了由约翰安德森（1983，1985）开发的理论模型，因为它适用于记忆表征，学习和语言技能习得。本文的其余部分描述了这个模型在第二语言习得问题上的可能应用，并表明该理论在解释第二语言习得过程和确定需要研究的领域方面都是有用的。
This paper describes recent theoretical developments in cognitive psychology that can be applied to second language acquisition and uses the theory to analyze phenomena discussed regularly in the second language literature. Some limitations of linguistic theories in addressing the role of mental processes in second language acquisition are identified, and current cognitive learning theory in general is outlined. The paper then examines the theoretical model developed by John Anderson (1983, 1985) as it applies to memory representation, learning, and language skill acquisition. The remainder of the paper describes possible applications of this model to issues in second language acquisition and suggests that the theory is useful both in explaining second language acquisition processes and in identifying areas in which research is needed.
