title = "Tailoring language training to prevent cognitive overload and improve phonetic learning outcomes",
abstract = "![CDATA[Language training programs often employ one-size-fits-all approaches that do not consider individual differences between learners. Cognitive views of foreign language learning propose that training should be tailored to suit the abilities of individual learners. We compared two approaches to artificial language learning in adults: 1. tailored training that began with passive exposure and adapted based on the learner{\textquoteright}s performance, versus 2. training with corrective feedback. Tailored training resulted in superior learning to feedback-only, and learning correlated with language aptitude and working memory. We suggest that tailored training programs that take into account individual differences may lead to desirable training outcomes and have pedagogical implications.]]",
