Dear members of the ILCB,
Welcome to the new academic year, which holds the promise for exciting collaborations, conferences and meetings! We had a sneak preview of this at the ILCB summer school at the end of August (see below). A big thanks to the organizers for an outstanding summer conference! Lots of new people joined the ILCB over the summer and you’ll find the portrait of some of them below.
I look forward to seeing many of you at our various upcoming events.
Best wishes,
Johannes |

"Generative adversarial networks unlock new methods for cognitive science." |

While technically a "quote", it is really the title of a very interesting paper recently published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences |

When written words speak louder than actions… |
|
Native speakers of French have difficulty distinguishing the English /θ/-/f/ phonemic contrast (e.g. three vs. free). Could articulatory gestures or the word’s written form help them learn new English words containing these confusable sounds?
(A) Three learning methods were compared: AUD: auditory forms of new words alone; AUD+ORTHO: auditory forms and their written, orthographic representations; AUD+ARTIC: auditory forms and their corresponding articulatory gestures.
When simultaneously presented with speech, both visual cues allowed participants to better dissociate and learn minimal-pair words. However, only the AUD+ORTHO learning led to a residual, long term benefit.
(B) There was a significant increase of performance in the picture-word matching task measured the day after the learning session (Day2) suggesting the overnight consolidation of the new lexical knowledge.
(C) This consolidated lexical knowledge also had a top-down influence, leading to enhanced perceptual ability by reinforcing the distinct phonological categories of the /θ-/f/ contrast.
