And we know, at least in the early stages of foreign language learning, average adults lean quite heavily on “declarative memory.” This is the part of the memory system that remembers facts and words. It remains fairly robust as one ages, though the plasticity of procedural memory, where motor and cognitive skills as well as grammatical rules are stored, becomes less assured.
