The ability of developing complex internal representations of the environment is considered a crucial antecedent to the emergence of humans’ higher cognitive functions. Yet it is an open question ...

With the emergence of huge amounts of heterogeneous multi-modal data, including images, videos, texts/languages, audios, and multi-sensor data, deep learning-based methods have shown promising ...

We offer a new solution to the unsolved problem of how infants break into word learning based on the visual statistics of everyday infant-perspective scenes. Images from head camera video captured by ...

Unlike honeybees, humans automatically extract predictive statistical properties of visual scenes using a sophisticated type of probabilistic learning, a study finds. Despite their small size, ...

Psychologists have shown that a baby's most likely first words are based upon their visual experience, laying the foundation for a new theory of infant language learning. Indiana University ...

Timothy Vickery, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at the University of Delaware. The cognitive neuroscientist is primarily interested in visual ...

Psychologists have identified a simple learning test that may help predict a child's likelihood of developing autism from as early as 6 months. The results shine a light on early learning differences ...
