(1) About the Project This project is lead by Sho TSUJI and Alex CRISTIA at the LSCP (Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique), and will be co-supervised by May ABDOU in the context of a PhD Thesis. Our research focuses on uncovering the cognitive and linguistic mechanisms underlying early language acquisition and developing experimental tools to collect and analyse large-scale data.

Le travail de stage consistera à proposer et étudier des méthodes pour analyser et comprendre comment les archéologues étudient le matériel archéologique à travers ses activités perceptives et cognitives (regard, neuro, tactile).

Missions principales : • Identifier et analyser la littérature académique sur les enjeux éthiques liés à l’intelligence artificielle et à la cognition artificielle. • Explorer des questions telles que l’attribution de conscience, l’évaluation de l’alignement des systèmes d’IA avec les valeurs humaines, la transparence et l’explicabilité des algorithmes, ainsi que les biais inhérents aux technologies d’IA. • Synthétiser les résultats sous forme de notes de recherche ou de mini-rapports structurés. Profil recherché : • Étudiant(e) en philosophie, éthique appliquée, sciences cognitives,

The availability of a linguistic contrast between speech sounds (e.g. between [d] and [t]) in a given language is often modulated by the position (e.g. within the word) in which the sounds occur. One such example is the case of lexically stressed positions, in which contrast is more likely to be available than elsewhere in the word.

Where: LSCP (Dept d'Etudes Cognitives, ENS) Supervisors: Ambre Salis and Emmanuel Chemla [advisors remote, but even more so reachable!] Topic: Animals emit signals at different rates. The call rate of vocal sequences may vary across species, and also within a species, when the rate may be indicative of varying degrees of emergency, proximity, quality of food, certainty of the information, etc.

1-Description Nous recherchons un.e étudiant.es motivée.e pour nous aider à l'acquisition de données dans le cadre de notre projet "Corels: La co-représentation est-elle boostée par l'expertise en langue des signes ?".  Le but de ce projet est d’identifier si les compétences développées par le traitement d’informations visuelles et gestuelles lors de l’acquisition seconde d’une langue des signes (ex : compréhension des signes et marqueurs non manuels, anticipations d’actions, adaptabilité et sensibilités aux détails) facilitent la mise en place de mécanismes de co-représentation d'action.

The goal of this internship is to pilot wearable devices to record children’s language input and social interactions with the people around them. Over the past decade, wearable devices have been a game changer in developmental researchers’ access to naturalistic recordings of children’s learning environments.

One factor that contributes to children’s differences in school performance is their own beliefs about intelligence. These beliefs are likely informed by children’s early socialisation experiences, which vary across families and children. For example, some children may receive more frequent messages from their parents emphasizing their inherent intelligence or cleverness than others. Such differential reinforcement can contribute to shaping children's beliefs about their intelligence and, subsequently, impact their cognition, literacy, and educational achievement.
