Event Description
This year’s conference focuses on studies of learning abilities in normal and damaged brains. Both cognitive and neural aspects are addressed. Verbal and nonverbal learning abilities of children, adults and bilingual speakers are considered. Topics will include the relationship of intellectual and perceptual-motor learning, spatial learning in development, mechanisms underlying second language learning, learning abilities in children with specific language impairment and the role of sequential learning in language processing. The speakers in this year’s program have contributed much to our understanding of theories of learning and how brain damage can affect learning abilities. Their research reflects the foundation of current and future efforts to develop better diagnostic and treatment approaches for children and adults with verbal or non-verbal learning disorders. |
