Funded Activity Summary

Moving from assumptions to new learning. . Moving from assumptions to new learning. The project aims to investigate the processes that drive new learning by using automatically evoked brain responses to examine when new information triggers the brain to update beliefs about the world. The project will generate new knowledge on the maturity of this process at birth, how it declines with older age and the brain areas critical to the process. The outcomes will provide insight into how attentional resources are automatically marshalled when beliefs are challenged, and it will help identify the consequences for learning when a system is immature, or the process breaks down with increasing age.
