A bit about Sam Jones
I am a Senior Research Associate in Developmental Cognitive Psychology at Lancaster University. I completed my MA at the University of Nottingham, and my PhD at Lancaster University. My research uses computational methods (e.g. Bayesian models, neural networks) to understand neurodevelopmental disorders and language.
My role in LuCiD
I am the postdoc working with Gert Westermann on a project using computational modelling to understand developmental language disorder (DLD). My role on this project is to build computational models (primarily artificial neural networks) that help deepen our understanding of developmental language disorder (DLD), with the broad aim of improving approaches to identification and intervention.
