A paper by Emory Davis and Barbara Landau, “Seeing and Believing: The Relationship between Perception and Mental Verbs in Acquisition”, was recently published in the journal Language Learning and Development.
The lab is very excited to have the support of the National Science Foundation for our collaborative research focused on connecting linguistic and perceptual development through symmetry. This is joint research that we will carry out with our colleagues John Trueswell and Lila Gleitman at the University of Pennsylvania.
Prof. Barbara Landau took this ‘class picture’ of her online Language and Thought seminar.
