SUMMARY:Athena Vouloumanos - How Early Perceptual Biases Shape Human Communicative Development
DESCRIPTION:Athena Vouloumanos: New York UniversityLike many animals\, human infants have biases for the vocalizations of their own species\, preferring speech to many non-speech sounds just hours after birth. How do these early proclivities develop and how do they contribute to human communicative development? In her talk\, Athena Vouloumanos will draw from behavioral and neural data to discuss how early human perceptual biases are quickly refined and how infants come to recognize that speech is a means for communication\, allowing one person to transfer information to others. Before preverbal infants produce or understand many words\, they recognize how speech is used by others to communicate about different types of entities in the world. This early communicative competence may provide infants with a channel for learning from others and lay a foundation for our social and cultural life as humans.

SUMMARY:Anne Warlaumont - Modeling the Evolution and Development of Human Vocalization
DESCRIPTION:Anne Warlaumont: University of California\, MercedHumans use a wide variety of types of vocal signals to communicate with other humans. Some of these sounds\, such as crying\, shrieking\, and laughing\, are thought to be closely related to those of our primate relatives. Others\, especially babbling\, speaking\, and singing\, appear to rely to a great extent on learning during infancy and early childhood. I will present a set of computational models that attempt to provide an account for how selection pressures and physiological mechanisms combined to create the adult human vocal repertoire.
