Researchers have long been interested in how humans and animals make decisions by focusing on trial-and-error behavior ...

So, while children benefit from greater neuroplasticity, which makes language learning easier, adults can still achieve significant outcomes by leveraging their experiences and cognitive abilities.

As students’ learning increasingly involves direct interaction with AI systems themselves, it is critical that these systems do not passively reinforce cognitive offloading, but actively scaffold ...

Foreign language learners are increasingly turning to AI chatbots for various tasks, including writing, translation, and text summarisation (Kasneci et al., 2023) However, unaware of the cognitive ...

To address this, I spoke with Elissa Newport, who will be one of the plenary speakers at the 2025 APS Convention. Throughout her long and distinguished career, she has reported groundbreaking work ...

Effective knowledge acquisition also depends on a number of cognitive and affective factors, techniques and methods. One of the most researched areas is the effect of learning approaches and ...

The Cognitive Benefits of LLMs At their core, LLMs are designed to augment human intelligence. They provide instant feedback, overcome language barriers, and facilitate personalized learning ...

Abstract Slow oscillation-spindle coupling predicts sequence-based language learning Sentence comprehension involves the rapid decoding of both semantic and grammatical information, a process ...

Key elements of cognitive computing include ML, deep learning, natural language processing (NLP), hypothesis generation and heuristics-based decision-making.

The long-held idea that language learning is better before adulthood is up for debate. Adults have a number of advantages when it comes to learning a second language, and it comes with major benefits.

Why a Cognitive Scientist Put a Head Cam on His Baby The perspective of a child could help AI learn language—and tell us more about how humans manage the same feat.
