| I have multiple interests. One major focus is on language processing, using both empirical experimental methodology and also connectionist models. A second focus is on development, with emphasis on the brain bases of early language learning. Finally, I am interested in the age old issue of the relationship between nature and nurture in understanding human species-specific behaviors. |
