Reading Delays

In a recent article titled Reading Delays, in American School Board Journal, TDLC co-Directors Gary Cottrell and Paula Tallal discuss how time and timing impact the ability to learn to read.

Music helps explain a paradox in research on faces and Chinese characters
Collaborators: Yetta Wong and Isabel Gauthier

A study by TDLC investigators Yetta Wong and Isabel Gauthier looked at the perception of musical notation by experts and novices. Their research suggests HP is initially strategic, but becomes more automatic with increased individuation experience and the development of expertise. Click here to see the study

Recognizing Images Using Fixations
Collaborators: Garrison Cottrell and Christopher Kanan

Humans acquire visual information serially using eye movements. High-resolution information is acquired in the foveal region of the retina, and lower-resolution information is provided in the retinal periphery. This requires that people look at relevant or interesting regions of a scene. This is in stark contrast to the predominant approach in computer vision, which processes images in their entirety. Christopher Kanan and Garrison Cottrell, scientists in the UCSD Department of Computer Science and Engineering, recently published a model (called NIMBLE) in the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) that acquires information serially in a manner similar to people.
