Fichamento – “Attention, Awareness, and Foreign Language Behavior”

(Ronald P. Leow, 2001)

- Este estudo reporta os achados de um estudo qualitativo e quantitativo sobre o

papel da consciência (awareness) no sistema atencional humano e seus efeitos
no comportamento de L2
- To this end, I analyzed both the think-aloud protocols produced by adult L2
learners of Spanish completing a problem-solving task and their immediate
performances on 2 post-exposure assessment tasks, a recognition and written
production task.
- Theoretical Background:
o Velmans postulated that task demands may appear to involve
consciousness due to the need for focal-attentive processing. However,
in some cases focal-attentive processes may operate effectively without
consciousness being present.
