  • sentence processing, syntax and grammar acquisition and processing

as well as

  • neural processing of error feedback during speech and language comprehension, production or learning
  • the relationship between error-driven learning and information theory
  • comparison of error-driven learning with different learning models such as Hebbian learning, statistical learning, Bayesian learning, distributional learning.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS IS NOW CLOSED
