The Third A. Guiora Annual Roundtable Conference in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language

The Earliest Stages of Language Learning

The aim of this series of conferences is to establish a forum that goes beyond a mere exchange of data and stimulates participants to work towards a broader view of the neural implementation of language. With this year's topic, we hope to stimulate discussions of (a) the types of knowledge learners extract from a new language starting at first exposure, and (b) whether and in how far paradigms involving the learning of artificial languages probe the same mechanisms as those involved in natural language learning.
