Three decades of structural priming research: implications for syntactic representation, domain-specificity of syntax, and multilingualism by Robert Hartsuiker
Salle de conférences 5 avenue Pasteur, Aix-en-Provence, FranceThree decades of structural priming research: implications for syntactic representation, domain-specificity of syntax, and multilingualism About thirty years ago, Kay Bock discovered structural priming, the tendency for speakers and listeners to recycle syntactic structures they have recently encountered. A recent meta-analysis of 70 published papers (Mahowald et al., 2017) shows that structural priming (as well […]
Deep learning models of perception and cognition by Marco Zorzi
Salle des voûtes, St Charles 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, FranceDeep learning models of perception and cognition by Marco Zorzi (University of Padova, Italy) Deep learning in stochastic recurrent neural networks with many layers of neurons (“deep networks”) is a recent breakthrough in neural computation research. These networks build a hierarchy of progressively more complex representations of the sensory data through unsupervised learning. Using examples […]

Dendrophilia and the Biology of Language by Tecumseh Fitch
Amphithéâtre de CERIMED 27 Boulevard Jean Moulin, MarseilleAn understanding of both the neural mechanisms involved in language, and their evolutionary history, requires incisive comparisons between humans and nonhuman animals. Ideally, such comparisons are grounded in an explicit, computational framework encompassing both formal and neural components.
Some recent developments in models of retrieval processes by Prof. Shravan Vasishth
Some recent developments in models of retrieval processes by Prof. Shravan Vasishth (University of Potsdam) In this talk, I will discuss some recent empirical and theoretical developments in cue-based retrieval theory . I will begin by talking about what we know so far about the underlying mechanisms driving retrieval processes in sentence comprehension and the […]

The computational neuroanatomy of speech production in the context of a dual stream framework for language by Greg Hickok
Salle des voûtes, St Charles 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, FranceThe computational neuroanatomy of speech production in the context of a dual stream framework for language by Greg Hickok (Dept. Cognitive Sciences & Language Science - University of California Irvine) The dual stream framework for the cortical organization of language is grounded in evolutionary biology in that it proposes an organization that is homologous to […]
The Temporal Dynamics of Word Processing in Hearing and Deaf Readers by Phillip Holcomb
The Temporal Dynamics of Word Processing in Hearing and Deaf Readers by Phillip Holcomb, Department of Psychology, San Diego State University, San Diego (United States) In my talk I will discuss a recent line of research in our lab where we are comparing electrophysiological measures of word processing in hearing and deaf adult readers. Because […]

Information-oriented and cross-language aspects on speech and cortical rhythms
Salle des voûtes, St Charles 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, FranceDuring the last two decades a growing body of evidence has shown a close relationship between temporal structure of speech and neural oscillatory activities, especially in the theta and gamma bands. More specifically, several recent models suggest that the neural capacity to track speech dynamics and rhythmic patterns is crucial for speech processing and understanding. […]
