Imagine if language were a living organism, constantly evolving and changing over time. Well, that’s exactly what researchers are discovering through iterated learning models. In a fascinating case study, scientists used these models to investigate the historical change in the accent classes of two Korean dialects. The simulations showed that successive generations of phonotactic learning […]
Just like how we learn to associate certain events or actions together, nonhuman primates also have a learning mechanism that allows them to extract and understand the relationships between events. In this study, Guinea baboons were exposed to a sequence of three stimuli and had to learn the transitional probabilities between them. First-order TPs were […]
Our understanding of how the brain perceives the world around us is still a mystery. However, recent research has shed light on the fascinating process of evidence accumulation (EA) that plays a role in our perceptual experiences. Imagine this process as a dance, where the brain accumulates evidence to form perceptions. But here’s the twist […]
