Come down from the clouds: Grounding Bayesian insights in developmental and behavioral processes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 August 2011
Abstract
According to Jones & Love (J&L), Bayesian theories are too often isolated from other theories and behavioral processes. Here, we highlight examples of two types of isolation from the field of word learning. Specifically, Bayesian theories ignore emergence, critical to development theory, and have not probed the behavioral details of several key phenomena, such as the “suspicious coincidence” effect.
