Cruz Blandón, María Andrea; Cristia, Alejandrina; Räsänen, Okko – Cognitive Science, 2023
Computational models of child language development can help us understand the cognitive underpinnings of the language learning process, which occurs along several linguistic levels at once (e.g., prosodic and phonological). However, in light of the replication crisis, modelers face the challenge of selecting representative and consolidated infant…

Swingley, Daniel; Alarcon, Claudia – Cognitive Science, 2018
In their first year, infants begin to learn the speech sounds of their language. This process is typically modeled as an unsupervised clustering problem in which phonetically similar speech-sound tokens are grouped into phonetic categories by infants using their domain-general inference abilities. We argue here that maternal speech is too…

Oppenheim, Gary; Wu, Yan Jing; Thierry, Guillaume – Cognitive Science, 2018
In their paper "Do Bilinguals Automatically Activate Their Native Language When They Are Not Using it?," Costa, Pannunzi, Deco, and Pickering ("Cognitive Science," 2017) proposed a reinterpretation of Thierry and Wu's (2004, 2007) finding of native language-based (Chinese, L1) ERP effects when they tested Chinese-English late…
