Connectionist Models in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience : Critical Periods and the Paradox of Success

How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

How the Timing and Quality of Early Experiences Influence the Development of Brain Architecture (2010, unknown): “The process by which initial learning leads to a constraint on later learning is termed entrenchment and is equally apparent in the development of speech (Munakata & Pfaffly, 2004; Seidenberg & Zevin, 2006).”
Critical periods and catastrophic interference effects in the development of self-organizing feature maps. (2008, background): “Seidenberg and Zevin (2006) argue that humans do not exhibit catastrophic interference effects because our experiences are typically interleaved.”
Computational Evidence That Frequency Trajectory Theory Does Not Oppose But Emerges From Age-of-Acquisition Theory (2012, unknown): “According to Seidenberg and Zevin (2006), the acquisition and gradual entrenchment of representations that support stereotyped song become increasingly resistant to change as a result of the process of learning itself. Thus, the reduction of plasticity due to learning in neurally inspired networks i”
How language production shapes language form and comprehension (2012, background): “Proactive interference approaches, in which prior learning affects the rate of subsequent learning (Seidenberg and Zevin, 2006), suggest that child vs. adult language users may have different effects on language form, but not because of a distinction between acquisition and use.”
