Sex, drugs + vocabulary: how your brain rewards learning new words

Your brain rewards learning new words in a unique way

Researchers in Germany and Spain performed a study in 2014 which revealed that your brain may have a unique method of rewarding you when you learn new vocabulary words.

The reward for learning new words is stimulation of the same area of the brain as sex

The 36 participants in the study were exposed to language learning activities which caused stimulation of the ventral striatum, a part of the human brain processes motivation and reward.

The ventral striatum area of the human brain is also related to gambling, drug highs and delicious food
