PURPOSE AND CONTENT OF THE WORKSHOP

In this course, students will develop an understanding of computational methods that can facilitate a deeper exploration of learning and development. Students will develop connections between state-of-the-art methods in machine learning, computer science, statistics, and accounts of psychological behavior, specifically cognitive models of learning and development. By the end of the course, students will have acquired applied knowledge to further develop new computational models, and analysis methods for studying questions in learning and cognitive development.
