Discourse Prosody and Sentence Processing in Prelingually Deaf Teenagers with Cochlear Implants by Katherine Demuth
Salle de conférences 5 avenue Pasteur, Aix-en-Provence, FranceDiscourse Prosody and Sentence Processing in Prelingually Deaf Teenagers with Cochlear Implants by Katherine Demuth 17h30 LPL, The past few years has seen major improvements in the early diagnosis of hearing loss, early intervention, and device improvements. Much of the assessment of language development has focussed on the early years, with assessment of hearing levels, […]
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 […]
