    Researchers rejected the behaviorist view that first language transfer is the sole cause of difficulties in acquiring a second language. Learners draw upon their first language knowledge as they learn a new language. The first language can influence learners' interlanguage in various ways, such as when learners notice similarities between the languages or avoid structures that are very different. The degree of difference between first and second language structures affects whether learners attempt to transfer those structures.
