This article reviews research on the development of motor behavior from a developmental
systems perspective. We focus on infancy when basic action systems are acquired. Posture …

The desire to reduce the dependence on curated, labeled datasets and to leverage the vast
quantities of unlabeled data has triggered renewed interest in unsupervised (or self …

Why our use of language is highly creative yet also constrained We use words and phrases
creatively to express ourselves in ever-changing contexts, readily extending language …

Neuroscience has focused on the detailed implementation of computation, studying neural
codes, dynamics and circuits. In machine learning, however, artificial neural networks tend …

The human brain contains multiple regions with distinct, often highly specialized functions,
from recognizing faces to understanding language to thinking about what others are …

Contingent interactions between caregivers and infants, in which caregivers respond
promptly and meaningfully to infants' behaviors, lay a foundation for language learning …

New efforts are using head cameras and eye-trackers worn by infants to capture everyday
visual environments from the point of view of the infant learner. From this vantage point, the …

How does the brain encode information about the environment? Decades of research have
led to the pervasive notion that the object-processing pathway in primate cortex consists of …

Young children learn to communicate in the language (s) of their communities, yet the
individual trajectories of language development and the particular language varieties and …

When infants and adults communicate, they exchange social signals of availability and
communicative intention such as eye gaze. Previous research indicates that when …
