1. Mastering the Chinese characters is always the most difficult obstacle for the beginning Chinese learner.
2. By using the method of employing pictographs as memory cues it should increase the efficiency of learning Chinese characters.
3. Using a physical response based test compared to a standardized paper and pencil test it will significantly decrease the level of stress that the participants will be under for this experiment.

What is Fuzzy-Trace Theory
![Page 7: 2016 NCLC-How trace theory affects chinese language learning](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030213/589c8cc91a28ab1e5d8b566d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A fuzzy trace is an imprecise memory representation that is easily accessed and
remembered (Fuzzy trace). Fuzzy Trace Theory postulates that cognitive information lies
on a continuum of precise traces to fuzzy traces (Fuzzy Trace theory)
According to Kuo et al. (2015) the amount of strokes influences the relative easiness
of acquirability; characters with the fewest strokes are stored in one’s working memory,
which has a limited capacity for knowledge. The brain processes visual forms of words a
component at a time thus the larger number of strokes a character has the more strain it
puts on one’s working memory

Physical response
Second variable
students hand matched characters and translation together.
TPR Vs. physical response
● TPR requires students to listen to a command in a target language and then obey it with physical movement (Asher, 1969, p. 4)
![Page 9: 2016 NCLC-How trace theory affects chinese language learning](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030213/589c8cc91a28ab1e5d8b566d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Literature Review
![Page 10: 2016 NCLC-How trace theory affects chinese language learning](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030213/589c8cc91a28ab1e5d8b566d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
● According to Kuo et al. (2015), in comparison to an alphabetic language, such as English, in a logographic writing system each character “represents one morpheme instead of an individual phoneme of the spoken language” (P4)
● Yeh, Li, Takeuchi, Sun, and Liu (2003) found that American students compared to Taiwanese and Japanese students view characters as pictures.
![Page 11: 2016 NCLC-How trace theory affects chinese language learning](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030213/589c8cc91a28ab1e5d8b566d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
● Kuo et al. (2015) argue that comprehending the radical’s position and meaning influences Chinese character processing in that it “contributes to accurate identification within a character and its semantic function” (p. 8)
● Therefore, even though radicals are positively related to Chinese character recognition, a higher level of radical knowledge is required to have significant impact on the vocabulary recognition (Su & Kim, 2014, p. 144).
![Page 12: 2016 NCLC-How trace theory affects chinese language learning](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030213/589c8cc91a28ab1e5d8b566d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
● Kuo et al. (2015) argues that one of the major components to reading is associative processing in which the initial activation within a verbal code creates a connection to a personal comprehension in the brain (p. 6)
● Yongming (2014), if the forms and rules of the word do not conform to the psychological space one has created, meaning the word is not aesthetically pleasing to the eye, the sensory organs will miss certain parts of the word or ignore it all together (p. 296)
![Page 13: 2016 NCLC-How trace theory affects chinese language learning](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030213/589c8cc91a28ab1e5d8b566d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
● Whereas language is usually processed in the left hemisphere the authors of this particular study found that the right brain hemisphere had the highest P1 component and P1 ERP response (Wang et al., 2013, p. 6)
● Shen (2005) states that previous studies have found the most common character learning strategies for non-native Chinese learners to include rote memorization, graphic and context cues, and a basic knowledge of radicals (p. 53).

● Liu and Jiang (2014) argue that using fuzzy clustering-based Chinese character recognition, CCR, has better accuracy and precision compared to other Chinese character recognition approaches.(P427)
● Davis (1977) notes that there is increased awareness of movement’s value as a medium for learning concepts, such as art and music, as better models of learning than traditional modes of instruction (p. 209).
