Jaffe-Dax, Sagi; Potter, Christine E.; Leung, Tiffany S.; Emberson, Lauren L.; Lew-Williams, Casey – Cognitive Science, 2023
Perception is not an independent, in-the-moment event. Instead, perceiving involves integrating prior expectations with current observations. How does this ability develop from infancy through adulthood? We examined how prior visual experience shapes visual perception in infants, children, and adults. Using an identical task across age groups, we…

Words that describe sensory perception give insight into how language mediates human experience, and the acquisition of these words is one way to examine how we learn to categorize and communicate sensation. We examine the differential predictions of the typological prevalence hypothesis and embodiment hypothesis regarding the acquisition of…

Matusevych, Yevgen; Schatz, Thomas; Kamper, Herman; Feldman, Naomi H.; Goldwater, Sharon – Cognitive Science, 2023
In the first year of life, infants' speech perception becomes attuned to the sounds of their native language. This process of early phonetic learning has traditionally been framed as phonetic category acquisition. However, recent studies have hypothesized that the attunement may instead reflect a perceptual space learning process that does not…

Wood, Justin N.; Wood, Samantha M. W. – Cognitive Science, 2018
How do newborns learn to recognize objects? According to temporal learning models in computational neuroscience, the brain constructs object representations by extracting smoothly changing features from the environment. To date, however, it is unknown whether newborns depend on smoothly changing features to build invariant object representations.…

The Role of Words and Sounds in Infants' Visual Processing: From Overshadowing to Attentional Tuning
Sloutsky, Vladimir M.; Robinson, Christopher W. – Cognitive Science, 2008
Although it is well documented that language plays an important role in cognitive development, there are different views concerning the mechanisms underlying these effects. Some argue that even early in development, effects of words stem from top-down knowledge, whereas others argue that these effects stem from auditory input affecting attention…
