Acquisition du langageL'acquisition du langage est un domaine de recherche pluridisciplinaire, relevant notamment de la recherche en psychologie et en sciences du langage, qui vise à décrire et comprendre comment l'enfant acquiert le langage, oral ou gestuel, du milieu qui l'entoure. L'acquisition du langage d'un jeune enfant est rapide et s'effectue sans apprentissage formel. Le langage se développe toute la vie, mais c'est surtout entre la naissance et l'âge de cinq ans, que les apprentissages essentiels sont observés.
Computational anatomyComputational anatomy is an interdisciplinary field of biology focused on quantitative investigation and modelling of anatomical shapes variability. It involves the development and application of mathematical, statistical and data-analytical methods for modelling and simulation of biological structures. The field is broadly defined and includes foundations in anatomy, applied mathematics and pure mathematics, machine learning, computational mechanics, computational science, biological imaging, neuroscience, physics, probability, and statistics; it also has strong connections with fluid mechanics and geometric mechanics.
Language developmentLanguage development in humans is a process starting early in life. Infants start without knowing a language, yet by 10 months, babies can distinguish speech sounds and engage in babbling. Some research has shown that the earliest learning begins in utero when the fetus starts to recognize the sounds and speech patterns of its mother's voice and differentiate them from other sounds after birth. Typically, children develop receptive language abilities before their verbal or expressive language develops.
