Understanding the Language-Learning Brain through Computational Methods

Penn State IT

How does the brain represent knowledge based on language-learning experiences? Join Ping Li for a discussion on how learning experiences shape the brain’s function and structure, and how cyber-enabled technology can enable student learning and promote positive brain changes.
Seating is limited. Please RSVP by September 7.

Ping Li is Professor of Psychology, Linguistics, and Information Sciences & Technology at the Pennsylvania State University, where he also serves as Associate Director of the Institute for CyberScience and Director of the Center for Brain, Behavior, and Cognition. The goal of his research is to understand the neuro-computational basis of language learning, and its relationship with culture, brain, and technology. His recent work stands at the crossroads of cyber-enabled learning and discovery, by connecting language learning, reading comprehension, and science education with 3D digital technology. Along with other colleagues at Penn State, he is investigating what works best for students learning second language, anatomy, and astronomy.
Li is Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Neurolinguistics and Associate Editor of Frontiers in Psychology: Language Sciences. He previously served as President of the Society for Computers in Psychology and Program Director of Cognitive Neuroscience and Perception, Action and Cognition at the US National Science Foundation.
