Cortical knowledge structures guide word concept learning

2025-08-29

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Human word-concept learning transcends simple associations between a word and referent exemplars, leveraging prior knowledge to generalize from few exemplars. Although Bayesian models explain such behavior, their neural underpinnings for prior structures and computations remain unclear. This study introduces a Neural Bayesian Model (NBM) to elucidate how prior knowledge representations...
