Language Acquisition and the Social Brain

There's an upcoming talk of note at the NSF.

Dr. Patricia K. Kuhl of the National Science Foundation will give a groundbreaking lecture on October 13, 2010 about how studies of language acquisition through live social interaction led to the idea that social interaction acts as a gate that triggers other types of learning. Kuhl is internationally recognized for her research on early language and brain development, and studies that show how young children learn.
