My lab at the Hebrew University – the Individual Differences in Learning and Language Lab (IDILL) – investigates how complex human behaviors emerge from the interactions between sophisticated learning mechanisms and rich sensory environments. We use computational tools to quantify structures of sensory inputs, and employ behavioral, eye-tracking, and computational methods to examine how different individuals succeed or fail in assimilating such structures. Members of the team focus on individual differences in reading, language, and statistical learning, among the cognitive functions we study.
