As a higher cognitive function of the human brain, language development is inextricably linked to brain cognition. Cognitive research provides a theoretical basis and methodology for language development and learning. Three meta-linguistic cognitive factors, phonological-orthographic and morphological awareness, are effective predictor variables and important influencing factors for vocabulary learning and further literacy development. A view of vocabulary learning based on cognitive linguistic theory can effectively change English teaching practice.
