Analytical Connectionism Workshop

Lab member Hadar Karmazyn-Raz is speaking at the University College London in the UK on September 7th. Her workshop will be about Infant’s natural play: ‘webbing’ knowledge at multiple time-scales. She will talk about the temporal statistics of infant natural play with objects and how it creates knowledge structures that resemble story-telling, with central main theme-objects tethered to multiple comment-objects around them. For more information, check the workshop site!

New Paper Alert!

A new paper by Andres Mendez, Chen Yu, and Linda Smith on sustained visual attention was just published in Developmental Science. They found that 1-year-old infants control sustained attention through head movements that increase the visibility of an object. Read along here!
