Spatiotemporal Program Learning in Human Adults, Children, and Monkeys

2025-09-30

Abstract excerpt

<p>People learn languages, music, games, mathematics, and a seemingly limitless assortment ofother structures across domains. How do we learn such a large variety of richly structuredrepresentations efficiently? One possibility is that people "learn by programming," synthesizingdata-generating algorithms to explain what they observe. We examine the nature andorigins of structure learning mechanisms in human adults...
