RSam Podcast Iris Berent on Innate Knowledge, Linguistics, and Theories of Cognition
Prof. Iris Berent is a cognitive psychologist at Northeastern University. She's the author of 'The Phonological Mind' and 'The Blind Storyteller'. Her current research seeks to unveil human nature and our intuitive understanding of it. To shed light on human nature, she explores the human capacity for language using phonology as a case study. In this episode, we discuss theories of cognition, the debate in linguistics between Chomsky and Skinner, innate knowledge, essentialism and dualism.
