Posture Affects How Robots and Infants Map Words to Objects
For infants, the first problem in learning a word is to map the word to its referent; a second problem is to remember that mapping when the word and/or referent are again encountered.

Here we provide a new theoretical model and new empirical evidence on how the body - and its momentary postu...

The models themselves are novel kinds of Adaptor Grammars that are an extension of an embedding of topic models into PC...

To test this view, we taught preschool and kindergarten children to pronounce three types of madeup spellings. In the name condition, the name of the word’s first lette...

In Italian, gender agreement is mandatory for both singular and plural nouns. However, when two or more nouns of different grammatical gender appear in a conjoined noun phrase (NP), masculine plural agreement is req...
