Recent work in vision science and visual neuroscience has moved away from focusing on single people or objects to understanding the relations between them. Based on converging behavioral, computational, and neuroscience evidence, we recently argued that the visual system contains rich, abstract representations of social interactions between others [1]. We also outlined a framework for […]

Social vision is a branch of vision science investigating the visual processing of socially relevant stimuli, primarily people. The focus of this research has recently moved from individuals (faces/bodies and their actions) to groups (two faces/bodies and their interactions). This new focus has revealed that the visual system is particularly sensitive to information that signals […]

Abstract Prediction-based accounts of language acquisition have the potential to explain several different effects in child language acquisition and adult language processing. However, evidence regarding the developmental predictions of such accounts is mixed. Here, we consider several predictions of these accounts in two large-scale developmental studies of syntactic priming of the English dative alternation. Study […]
