Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Algebra
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Syntax

LouAnn Gerken mainly focuses on Language development, Language acquisition, Morpheme, Syntax and Grammar. His research integrates issues of Syllable and Word in his study of Language development. His studies in Language acquisition integrate themes in fields like Cognitive science, Artificial grammar learning, Psycholinguistics and Comprehension approach.

His work carried out in the field of Morpheme brings together such families of science as Developmental psychology, Context and Verbal learning. His Syntax research includes themes of Noun, Grammatical gender, Grammatical category, Verb phrase and Sentence. LouAnn Gerken works mostly in the field of Sentence, limiting it down to concerns involving Subject and, occasionally, Prosody.

His most cited work include:

  • Infant sensitivity to distributional information can affect phonetic discrimination. (909 citations)
  • Artificial grammar learning by 1-year-olds leads to specific and abstract knowledge. (507 citations)
  • Infant artificial language learning and language acquisition (368 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

LouAnn Gerken mostly deals with Language acquisition, Cognitive psychology, Prosody, Language development and Grammar. His Language acquisition research incorporates themes from Morpheme, Vocabulary, Cognitive science, Phonology and Psycholinguistics. LouAnn Gerken has included themes like Developmental psychology, Context and Feature in his Cognitive psychology study.

His study in Prosody is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sentence, Parsing and Specific language impairment. The Language development study combines topics in areas such as Syllable, Verbal learning and Communication. His Grammar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Syntax, Word order and Natural language.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Language acquisition (34.02%)
  • Cognitive psychology (27.84%)
  • Prosody (19.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Grammar (16.49%)
  • Cognitive psychology (27.84%)
  • Language acquisition (34.02%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Grammar, Cognitive psychology, Language acquisition, Feature and Word are his primary areas of study. His Grammar research includes elements of Developmental linguistics, First language, Syntax, Prosody and Natural language. His First language study deals with Word order intersecting with Cognitive science.

His research investigates the connection between Cognitive psychology and topics such as Place of articulation that intersect with problems in Phonetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sentence, Visual patterns, Morpheme and Parsing. His Communication course of study focuses on Language development and Constructed language.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • From pauses to clauses: Prosody facilitates learning of syntactic constituency (52 citations)
  • Surprise! Infants Consider Possible Bases of Generalization for a Single Input Example. (34 citations)
  • Infants generalize from just (the right) four words. (19 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Syntax
  • Grammar

His primary scientific interests are in Feature, Language development, Cognitive psychology, Communication and Prosody. His Language development research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Salient, Robust learning, Verbal learning, Memory development and Word. His work in the fields of Cognitive psychology, such as Set, intersects with other areas such as Spurious relationship.

His Communication study combines topics in areas such as Syllable, Repetition and Generalization. His studies deal with areas such as Parsing, Control, Language acquisition, Sentence and Syntax as well as Prosody. His Sentence study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Salience, Grammar and First language.
