What predicts this variability\, and what is con sistent across children and across learners of different languages? In thi s talk\, I’ll describe our efforts to create predictive models of early la nguage learning as a way of formalizing hypotheses in this space. This goa l has led us to create open data resources like Wordbank\, childes-db\, an d Peekbank that capture data from tens of thousands of children learning d ozens of different languages.\n DTSTART:20220920T160000Z DTEND:20220920T170000Z LOCATION:CA\, QC SUMMARY:QLS Seminar - Michael Frank URL:/qls/channels/event/qls-seminar-michael-frank-3410 41 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
