Human learners make inductive inferences based on small amounts of data: we generalize
from samples to populations and vice versa. The academic discipline of statistics formalizes …

The authors present a Bayesian framework for understanding how adults and children learn
the meanings of words. The theory explains how learners can generalize meaningfully from …

Six-month-old infants discriminate between large sets of objects on the basis of numerosity
when other extraneous variables are controlled, provided that the sets to be discriminated …

Adults conceptualize the world in terms of enduring physical objects.Sortal conceptsprovide
conditions of individuation (establishing the boundaries of objects) and numerical identity (…

Activation of G protein–coupled receptors upon agonist binding is a critical step in the signaling
cascade for this family of cell surface proteins. We report the crystal structure of the A 2A …

Two experiments investigated numerosity discrimination in 6-month-old infants, comparing
their performance on both large numbers (4 vs. 8 elements) and small numbers (2 vs. 4 …

Four experiments investigated whether 9-month-old infants could use the presence of
labels to help them establish a representation of two distinct objects in a complex object …

The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas belongs to one of the most species-rich but genomically
poorly explored phyla, the Mollusca. Here we report the sequencing and assembly of the …

Porosity can be viewed as a profound concept that helps us to understand nature and
create advanced structures. There are some interesting examples in nature, such as hollow …

Children extend regular grammatical patterns to irregular words, resulting in overregularizations
like comed, often after a period of correct performance ("U-shaped development"). The …
