2 libros. The mind is flat! Que é o q nos permite inventar, enganar, imaxinar? De q modo o reconstruímos todo sobre a marcha? En q sentido improvisamos coa linguaxe? Por que a lingua é creativa e colaborativa?🎯 Morten H. Christiansen e Nick Chater The language game. Penguin Random House 🐧🏠📚

Interview with Dr. Morten H. Christiansen , Professor Cognitive Science of Language Lab Cornell University , on "Transformative Solutions for Language Learning Struggles" emotional-link.co.jp/christiansen-p…

Congrats to Cognitive Science of Language Lab's Serene Wang for giving a great 4th-year talk about her work on the role of chunking in second-language learning. 👏Watch this space for the papers to come out of this work!

Big congrats 🥳 to Cognitive Science of Language Lab's Calen MacDonald Calen MacDonald who gave a splendid 2nd-year talk last week on his work on the role of feedback in iterated learning. 👉Check out his poster about this at Evolang Conference 2024 next month: "A feedback-facilitated iterated learning experiment"

Beautiful morning to kick of the Fifth Conference on Interdisciplinary Advances in Statistical Learning in San Sebastián, Spain #IASL24

Tom Griffiths gets #IASL24 started with a keynote about how Large Language Models might be reconciled with Bayesian statistics

The final day of #IASL24 starts off with Rebecca Treiman talking about statistical learning in the real-world context of reading and its limitations

The last afternoon session of #IASL24 begins with Bozena Pajak from Duolingo who talks about maximizing statistical learning for education

As the sun sets on a very successful and thoroughly interesting #IASL24, we look forward to seeing everyone again in 2026 for #IASL26. Safe travels

"for native speakers there are no easy and hard languages" (the slide is from Morten H. Christiansen)

(1) In a letter to the journal Cognitive Science Morten H. Christiansen and I ask “Can large language models counter the recent decline in literacy levels?” We believe the answer is yes but see an important role for the field of cognitive science pure.mpg.de/rest/items/ite…

Happy to report that Falk Huettig's and my Letter in Cognitive Science is out! LLMs are likely to threaten literacy acquisition but they might also support it. Cognitive Science can help steer the outcome in the right direction! Read it for free here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/K…

Dont miss this IMC Talk tomorrow 11am by Morten H. Christiansen! All are welcome (also online): The Importance of Feedback in Statistical Learning: Insights from Artificial Language Learning, Language Evolution, and AI Abstract and details: interactingminds.au.dk/events/single-…

I had a wonderful time talking about "Language Evolution through the Bottleneck: From Milliseconds to Millennia" as part of the Language Circle speaker series. Topics included #LanguageEvolution #LanguageAcquisition #Chunking You can watch the talk here 👀 languagecycles.com/language-circl…

Looking forward to giving a keynote on "The Importance of Feedback in Language Learning: Insights from Artificial Language Learning and Large Language Models" on November 3rd, with implications for L2 learning

Very honored to visit UC Merced next week to receive the Distinguished Cognitive Scientist Award. I'll deliver both a talk in the Dept of Cognitive & Information Science , "The Conversational Nature of Language", + a public lecture on The Language Game. news.ucmerced.edu/content/cornel…
