Computational Theories of Learning and Developmental Psycholinguistics

A computer is something that computes, and since humans make computations when processing information, humans are computers. What kinds of computations do humans make when they learn languages? Answering this question requires the collaborative efforts of researchers in several different disciplines and sub-disciplines, including language science (e.g. theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics...

SYMPOSIUM: ACTIVATING WORDS IN THE BRAIN: INTEGRATING NEUROPSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHOLINGUISTICS 1. Activating Words in the Brain: Integrating Neuropsychology and Psycholinguistics

Throughout the field of neuropsychology, evidence for complex implicit competence has been documented in patients with neurological damage and limited linguistic, attentional, or mnemonic performance. Such results suggest that systems are activated and carrying out their functions even though this information is no longer available for conscious planning and problem solving. One example of this...

Computational Psycholinguistics

Computational psycholinguistics seeks to build theories of human linguistic processes that take the form of working computational models. These models address processes ranging from word recognition to discourse comprehension, and produce behaviour that constitutes predictions to be compared to human data.

Glycinergic Transmission: Physiological, Developmental and Pathological Implications

The last few years have seen remarkable developments in our understanding of the physiology, pharmacology and genetics of inhibitory glycinergic synapses. In part, this has been due to the development of new resources such as specific antisera recognizing glycine receptor (GlyR) and transporter (GlyT) subtypes, but also the characterization of new mouse, zebrafish and bovine genetic models of g...
