In the Developmental Intelligence Laboratory, our primary research aim is to understand human learning and early development. How do young children learn to see the world around them? How do they learn to talk? How do they learn to communicate and interact with others?
A complimentary research line is to explore how human learning can teach us about how machines can learn. Can we model and simulate how a human child learns and develops?
