Professor Mintz’s research interests center on the cognitive mechanisms underlying language acquisition. His current project involves investigating how infants begin to form rudimentary representations of grammatical units in language, specifically focusing on verb inflections at the age of 15 months. He employs computational modeling techniques and experimental methods from computer science to explore language development theories among children. His work has contributed valuable insights into how children learn and process language, particularly through understanding their cognitive development in linguistic contexts.
