Ongoing Projects

Word Learning- Adjectives: How do children learn adjectives like tough, delicious, happy, or pretty? In this research, we address this question by examining how structure and distributional information in the input supports successful acquisition of various classes of adjectives.

Language Modeling: In an extension of my word learning research with Forrest Davis (Colgate), we look at how cues that human learners rely on for learning may not be captured by language models and what this might tell us about acquisition.
