“… Aryadoust et al (2020) investigated brain activation patterns under test conditions using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Among the main techniques of understanding how different parts of the brain are engaged in psychological and behavioral functions ( Burunat and Brattico, 2017 ), fMRI has been used by neuroscientists and physicians and was first applied to L2 listening assessment by Aryadoust et al They introduced the notion of neurocognitive validity, which means that a listening test should engage the neurocognitive processes which are required in real-life contexts. The use of advanced technology has provided deeper insights into cognitive processes, which may have implications for test development and validation.…”

The assessment of second language (L2) listening has received much attention. To understand the state-of-the-art research on L2 listening assessment, a total of 87 studies published in 14 peer-reviewed journals and two research report series between 2001 and 2020 were reviewed, using the socio-cognitive framework for developing and validating listening tests proposed by Weir (2005). Thirteen research themes were identified in relation to the six components of the framework, including test-taker characteristics, cognitive validity, context validity, scoring validity, consequential validity, and criterion-related validity. Context validity was the most investigated component, covering three research themes, that is, task setting, linguistic demands (input and output), and speakers. Based on a detailed analysis of the 13 research themes, recommendations for future research in L2 listening assessment were given.

“…Before advanced neuroimaging techniques were made available, the scientific community as well as the general public believed that adolescence was a "troubling time" with the best outcome being "nothing too bad happened" (Ellis, 1979). With neuroimaging evolution in the late 20th century, researchers began to map brain activity and understand the human brain in action (Burunat & Brattico, 2017). New discoveries revealed the true potential of the adolescent brain, especially the wondrous development of executive function.…”

Objectives In this systematic literature review, we aim to investigate the research designs of studies on adolescent brain executive function (EF) over the past decade to deduce a potential approach for future studies. Methods We performed literature searches on PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar including studies that investigate adolescent brain development, specifically empirical studies between the years of 2012 and 2022 on adolescent EF using neuroimaging techniques. We then set up inclusion and exclusion criteria and performed study selection, data extraction, and data analysis. Results Our findings illustrated that while there was a remarkable rise in adolescent EF studies over the past decade, there were few interventional studies that aimed at advancing the neural developmental opportunities of the adolescent years. Conclusion These findings suggest that in order to define best practices for advancing adolescent EF, developmental cognitive neuroscience and the field of education need to form a stronger partnership to design more creative and appropriate interventions.
