Workshop
Theme 1: Language Poverty and Learner Differences
Panelists:
Day 7: Participants continue working with their groups on implementing their model extensions.
Day 6: Implementing Word Learning Model Extension
Groups work independently to implement their extension to the word learning model explored in the previous week.
Day 5: Designing an extension
Participants split into groups and begin formalizing a question to be answered by their next iteration of the word learning model.
Day 4: Computational Modeling Resources
Learn how to effectively choose the right tools for the job, and how to share information with colleagues through the wiki.
Day 3: Word Learning Model
Participants explore a model of word learning, then interactively evaluate the model through the use of the statistical package R.
Day 2: Examining Assumptions
Explore typical modeling assumptions, types of assumptions, and illuminate core relationships between those assumptions and the purpose of the model under development.
