Research Interests
|
|
Aslin's research is concerned with how human infants develop knowledge about their world, with an emphasis on language learning. He uses both behavioral and neuroimaging methods to study what infants know and how distributions of information shape their knowledge via implicit learning mechanisms. His recent work employs machine-learning techniques to assess patterns of brain activity that are correlated with mental representations. |
