SUMMARY:"What enables human language? A biocultural framework" Discussion Hour with Prof Inbal Arnon
DESCRIPTION:The GRCDI is pleased to welcome back Professor Inbal Arnon for a discussion of her 2025 paper "What enables human language? A biocultural framework", published in Science.    Prof. Arnon will provide a short introduction to the paper at the beginning of the session, but the intention is for the focus to remain primarily on a discussion lead by attendees.    Please take the time to read the paper prior to the event, in order to maximise the possibility for discussion during the event. The paper can be found at the following link:    https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq8303    Prof. Arnon is a developmental psychologist and cognitive scientist (PhD, Stanford, 2011). She is a Full Professor of Psychology at the Hebrew University, and currently a Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professor at the University of Edinburgh. Her work focuses on how children learn language, why they do so better than adults, and how studying language learning can help us understand how human language evolved to begin with. Prof. Arnon has worked extensively on first language learning, developing a novel framework for understanding why children are better language learners than adults, with applied implications for human and machine learning (The Starting Big Approach, see Arnon, 2021 for a review). https://events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/what-enables-human-language-a-biocultural-framework-discussion-hour-with-prof-inbal-arnon/
