LANGUAGE And COGNITION

The Language and Cognition team investigates the mechanisms and constraints at play in language acquisition and cognitive development. Our research is mainly conducted at the INCC BabyLab, a platform specifically designed to study young children. The babylab is equipped with different setups to run experiments using both behavioral (e.g., eye-tracking) and neuroimaging (EEG/ERP, NIRS) techniques. In addition to the research conducted in this laboratory environment, we also see participants in hospitals (especially in maternity wards), schools, as well as in public places, such as in science museums.

Importantly, we are interested in the study of different populations. First, we work on typical development in monolingual and bilingual infants. That research is deeply rooted in a cross-linguistic approach in which we compare acquisition in French-learning infants and in infants learning other languages (thanks to international collaborations), in order to determine the elements in these trajectories that reflect the acquisition of general properties of language and those that reflect the acquisition of specific properties of the language in acquisition, and elaborate new, more general, models of language acquisition. Second, we study different developmental disorders to specify how typical developmental trajectory can vary across infant populations, providing data regarding the breadth and limits of plasticity in development. To do so, we work in collaboration with parent and professional institutions linked to atypical acquisition (deafness and cochlear implantation, Williams syndrome, autism) and bilingualism, schools, and hospitals (coll. Robert Debré and Necker hospitals).

The team is a founding partner of LABEX EFL (Empirical Foundations of Linguistics), and of the babylab.

Research topics

Our research covers three main topics: Language acquisition, Mathematical cognition, and Social cognition.

Research questions on language acquisition focus on different levels of speech and language processing (e.g., acoustic, phonology, prosody, lexicon) in typically and atypically (e.g., hard of hearing infants using hearing devices, infants born prematurely) developing infants and children. We explore the perceptual and learning mechanisms supporting language acquisition at birth, the early auditory processing capacities, the developmental links between acquisition of phonology and lexicon, the development of the lexical-semantic organization, and the origins of pragmatic language abilities. We also investigate the impact of simultaneous bilingualism on early language acquisition.

Our research on mathematical cognition covers two domains: number, and geometry. In these two domains, we are interested in the perceptual foundations of mathematics: infants’ and children’s ability to perceive quantities and shapes, and to reason about these quantities and shapes. We are also interested in the propensity to use an oriented mental space to represent non-spatial information, such as ordered sequences – as it applies to the domain of number, but also to other domains.

Finally, related to social cognition, we explore the foundations and early development of social learning through observation and communication. We examine how infants and children learn from and about their social partners to uncover the mechanisms that enable and shape human social learning and cultural diversity. This includes investigating processes like action and social relation representations, metacognition, theory of mind, communication skills, trust, and naïve epistemology.
