Johan Mårtensson [1,2], Magnus Haake [3] & Markus Nilsson [1][1] Dept. of Clinical Sciences, Medical faculty, Lund University [2] Humanities Lab, The joint faculties of Humanities and Theology, Lund University [3] LUCS & ETG, Dept. of Philosophy, The joint faculties of Humanities and Theology, Lund University Our prime objective with TELEB is to better understand what happens in the brain when adults acquire a new language, and to what extent immersion affects performance during associative word learning.
