(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)A central feature of visual pathway development is its organization into retinotopic maps. The developmental process by which these maps form involves a transition from early patterning cues to arrays of axonal guidance ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis contains three sets of studies designed to explore the identification and function of prosodic features in English. The first set of studies explores the identification of prosodic features using prosodic ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) manipulation of intronic elements that enables fish genes to be spliced properly in mammalian cells; (iii) A computational analysis using EST data, genome sequence data, and microarray expression data of tissue- ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Developmental dyslexia is a neurological condition that specifically impairs the development of expert reading ability. Phonological processing deficits -- impaired representation of, or access to, the abstract units of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis aims to elucidate shared mechanisms between retrieval in sentence processing and memory retrieval processes in nonlinguistic domains using an individual differences approach. Prior research in individual ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The large majority of inputs to primary visual cortex (V1) neurons arise from the dense local projections of neighboring neurons. Although several proposals have been made, it is not known what role these connections play ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Over the last two decades numerous examples have demonstrated the remarkable plasticity of the developing brain. This plasticity occurs from the level of a single synapse to the repatterning of sensory input. One paradigm ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The cognitive and neural processes underlying memory formation may differ depending on the vividness, or detail, of information encoded. In Chapter 1, a divided attention paradigm was used to examine memory formation when ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Alterations in sensory experience can persistently modify the responses of cortical neurons. Ocular dominance (OD) plasticity, a process in which alternation of visual input induces a shift in cortical responsiveness, is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)It is the goal of this thesis to examine the frontal cortex-basal ganglia system during arbitrary visuomotor association learning, the forming of arbitrary links between visual stimuli and motor responses (e.g. red means ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Three studies look at whether the assumption of causal determinism (the assumption that all else being equal, causes generate effects deterministically) affects children's imitation of modeled actions. We show that, even ...

Kernels of learning : tracking the emergence of visual recognition through multivariate approaches (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The visual system is a dynamic entity whose response properties depend on context and experience. In this thesis, I examine how the brain changes as we learn to see - what changes occur during the onset of recognition, in ...
