Language and Cognition is an open access venue for the publication of high-quality empirical research focusing on the interface between language and cognition. It is open to research from the full range of subject disciplines, theoretical backgrounds, and analytical frameworks that populate linguistics and the cognitive sciences.

What is the role of language and cognition in thinking? Is abstract cognition possible without language? Is language just a communication device, or is it fundamental in developing thoughts?

2024年5月23日 · There are three main positions regarding the relationship between language and cognition: language develops largely independent of cognition, cognition influences both language and the pace of language development, and language precedes cognition and is the primary influence on thought development.

We develop a hypothesis that language and cognition are two separate but closely interacting mechanisms. Language accumulates cultural wisdom; cognition develops mental representations modeling surrounding world and adapts cultural knowledge to concrete circumstances of life.

The development of language and cognition is key to human development. Language is an important means to communicate and code information; it is relevant to knowledge and concept acquisition, to memory performance and development, …

2017年9月18日 · Language serves as a cornerstone of human cognition. However, our knowledge about its neural basis is still a matter of debate, partly because ‘language’ is often ill-defined.

2025年2月22日 · Language, Cognition and Neuroscience is an international peer-reviewed journal promoting integrated cognitive theoretical studies of language and its neural bases. The journal takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of brain and language, aiming to integrate excellent cognitive science and neuroscience to answer key questions about the ...

2025年3月4日 · Large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable similarity to neural activity in the human language network. However, the key properties of language shaping brain-like representations, and their evolution during training as a function of different tasks remain unclear. We here benchmark 34 training checkpoints spanning 300B tokens across 8 different model …

2018年6月22日 · The empirical evidence reviewed so far suggests a homology between language and cognition, such that evidential distinctions in language build on and reflect antecedently available conceptual representations of information sources.
