Pre-conference workshop (April 23rd):
Practical introduction to mixed effects modelling (organized by Dale Barr)
AMLaP Asia was created as the Asian venue for presenting and discussing research on cognitive, neuroscientific and computational mechanisms implicated in human language processing and learning. The first AMLaP Asia conference was successfully held in 2018 at University of Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
We welcome submissions of empirical findings on various aspects of language. Topics in past AMLaP or AMLaP Asia conferences have included (but are not limited to): speech recognition and production, word recognition and production, sentence comprehension and production, discourse comprehension, dialogue, language disorder, language learning, bilingualism, language and the brain, language and cognition. Methodologies used in past presentations include (but are not limited to): reaction times, categorical judgement, verbal responses, eye movement, computational modelling, EEG, fMRI, PET, fNIRS, tDCS, data mining, corpus studies.
