DESCRIPTION:Recognizing words in fluent speech is a fundamental skill in la
 nguage processing\, allowing listeners to access semantic and grammatical 
 information encoded in the utterances they hear. This is one of the first 
 skills infants must master in learning language. Although word recognition
  is subjectively instantaneous and effortless (at least when listening to 
 familiar languages)\, the computations required are exceedingly complex. T
 wo problems in particular must be surmounted. First\, whereas we perceive 
 words as discrete units with distinct endpoints\, acoustically\, words flo
 w into one another\, typically with no manifest boundary. Infants must thu
 s learn how to segment words from continuous speech. Second\, although we 
 achieve a sort of perceptual constancy for words\, different instances (or
  tokens) of words often vary wildly on any number of dimensions. Infants m
 ust learn which aspects of such variation are functionally relevant (i.e.\
 , actually signal differences between words) and which are not\; i.e.\, in
 fants must learn the phonological system of their language. In this talk\,
  I will present data illuminating how infants go about solving these two p
 roblems\, and I will sketch a hybrid Bayesian/attractor model that suggest
 s what may be some of the processes underlying infants' mastery of spoken 
 word recognition.\n
