111 Krieger Hall 3400 N Charles St, Baltimore, MD, United StatesInnate neural scaffolds for mental function Abstract: What determines the landscape of functional specialization in the human brain? I’ll present experiments that investigate how neural processors for uniquely human skills emerge in development, focusing specifically on written language for this talk. First, I'll demonstrate how a pre-reader’s brain connectivity scan can pinpoint exactly where that […]

Krieger 111 @ 3400 N Charles St Baltimore, MD, United StatesRNNs too expressive to properly learn local phonological patterns? Although recurrent neural networks with long short-term memory mechanisms (LSTMs) can learn many existing phonological patterns, they vastly overgenerate. This raises questions about whether LSTMs are suitable models for understanding how humans learn phonology, similar to phonological theories that overgenerate. In this work, we examine whether […]

Colloquium: Molly Dillon
111 Krieger Hall 3400 N Charles St, Baltimore, MD, United StatesWho, what, where... how? Abstract: Humans are the best knowers and learners of the natural world. From infancy, we are sensitive to the who, what, and where in everyday life… but how? In this talk, I will focus on how our intuitive cognitive biases interact with language to support our learning of abstract concepts. In particular, […]
