SE BUSCA CANDIDATA/O PARA BECA POST DOCTORAL COFINANCIADA CONICET/UNMDP

Se busca postulante para presentarse a la convocatoria a becas post doctorales que saldrán con la convocatoria general de becas del CONICET pero dentro de un proyecto específico en el marco de los Proyectos de Investigación Interfacultades, complementados con actividades de Extensión y/o Transferencia (PI3cET) de la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata - SPU. El proyecto en el cual se enmarcará la beca se denomina “Adaptación y validación de un instrumento de evaluación neuropsicológica del lenguaje: el Minilinguistic State Examination.”

Tema: El objetivo principal del proyecto mayor es la adaptación y análisis psicométrico de una prueba para evaluar el lenguaje, principalmente diseñada para pacientes con afasia progresiva primaria (APP). A su vez, trabajamos con personas con diferentes tipos de afasia buscando las aplicaciones para celular disponibles para mejorar sus capacidades de comunicación, así como para estimular los niveles afectados. También estamos desarrollando tareas de estimulación del lenguaje en un laboratorio web propio. El proyecto es llevado a cabo por un equipo interdisciplinario ya que se requieren conocimientos de neuropsicología, psicometría, psicolingüística, fonoaudiología y neurología. El/la candidato/a podría aportar desde cualquiera de estas áreas temáticas.
Lugar de trabajo: Instituto de Psicología Básica, Aplicada y Tecnología (IPSIBAT), Facultad de Psicología, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata / CONICET / Centro asociado CIC.
Requisitos:
- Tener defendida la tesis doctoral antes del 1 de agosto de 2022.
- Tener interés y antecedentes afines con la temática del proyecto en sus distintas vertientes (demencias, evaluación neuropsicológica, lenguaje, psicometría).
- Tener buen manejo del idioma inglés.
- Se valorará positivamente la experiencia en equipos de trabajo interdisciplinarios.

The process of acquiring one's first language (L1) is often described as leading to endpoint outcomes by early adulthood. This talk will present phonetic evidence of continued L1 malleability, which suggests that individual linguistic systems develop and change over the lifespan in response to new language experience. In particular, I will discuss cases of phonetic drift in L1 production during acquisition of a second language (L2), cases of "return" drift, and factors that influence both of these phenomena, including amount and quality of L1/L2 use, language environment, and the intrinsic nature of linguistic contrasts and variables. Implications for language researchers, as well as future research avenues in this area, will also be discussed.

People given the sentence "While Mary bathed the baby played in the crib" will often answer "yes" to a question about whether Mary bathed the baby. Similarly, about a quarter of the time, people misinterpret passive sentences such as "The dog was bitten by the man": they derive the interpretation consistent with world knowledge rather than the one mandated by the syntactic structure. But what is it about processing that is merely good enough: Is it the syntactic structure, the interpretation derived from it, or both? In this talk I will review recent work which shows that these misinterpretations are due not to a failure to build a correct syntactic structure, but instead arise due to competition from multiple interpretations built incrementally during online processing. In the case of Mary and her baby, the parser does eventually build the correct syntactic structure in which the baby is the subject of the main clause and Mary is bathing herself, but along the way the comprehender also constructed the idea that Mary bathed the baby, which is ultimately incorrect. Those two interpretations co-exist in memory and the misinterpretation arises when the wrong one is ultimately selected. Similarly, passives are sometimes misinterpreted because along with a system that builds sentence meanings compositionally, a parallel system exists in which words directly access concepts and schemas in long-term memory, providing a separate source of propositional meaning. This nonlinguistic conceptual system does not simply shut off because language input is being received; it generates an interpretation that must be reconciled with the one derived linguistically and compositionally. Good Enough Language Processing, then, is entirely compatible with the assumption that the parser builds full and accurate syntactic representations, and it places the "blame" for misinterpretations where it belongs: on the systems that construct meaning.
