معرفی
Aislinn Keogh is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Psychology, Durham University, employed under the ERC Starting Grant project Children as Agents of Cultural Evolution led by Dr. Sheina Lew-Levy. Her work integrates computational modeling, observational research, and experimental methods to study social learning and language dynamics in children and adults.
- Education:
- Bachelor's in Linguistics, Newcastle University (2013)
- MSc in Evolution of Language and Cognition, University of Edinburgh (2021)
- PhD in Linguistics, University of Edinburgh (2025)
Her research focuses on how cognitive and motor constraints in language production influence learning, communication, and long-term linguistic evolution. Current projects examine phonetic clustering trade-offs, working memory effects on regularization, task impacts on morphological rule acquisition, and redundancy's role in mitigating individual learning differences.
Recent work involves collaborations with Elizabeth Pankratz and Professor Gary Lupyan, leveraging agent-based models and Approximate Bayesian Computation. Publications span Cognitive Science, Evolang Conference Proceedings, and preprint platforms like PsyArXiv.
