DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests continuing support for a predoctoral and postdoctoral training program in Learning, Development, and Biology, housed in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester. The training program includes eleven faculty members, all of whom study learning and development of complex behaviors in humans and animals. This program reflects our recognition of the potential for a synthetic approach to the study of learning: computational, neurophysiological, and behavioral investigations of learning and developmental plasticity ask many of the same questions and are mutually informative; at the same time, they bring distinctive perspectives to the problems of learning and development, so that their integration leads to new insights. Our program therefore aims to train students in the study of learning and developmental plasticity from the joint perspectives of behavioral, computational, and neurophysiological approaches. Surrounding our group at the University are programs in the mature functioning of each of the relevant domains and systems. We request support for 4 predoctoral and 2 postdoctoral students per year; when combined with other sources of support, this permits approximately 10-12 predoctoral students in this program, as well as other students in related programs. Trainees enter through the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and are trained in core courses and advanced seminars in Learning, Development & Biology, Language & Cognition, Perception, and Basic and Integrative Neuroscience, and in research methods courses and research experience in behavioral studies, computational modeling, and neuroscience studies. This breadth of training is made possible by the fact that our program faculty have degrees in 5 different disciplines and conduct research on overlapping problems from a variety of different methodological approaches. Our current trainees with a focus on learning and developmental plasticity exemplify the high quality of students we are able to attract; our recent graduates exemplify the success we have had in placing our students in academic and research positions.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案请求持续支持 学习、发展方面的博士前和博士后培训计划， 和生物学，位于该大学的脑和认知科学系 罗切斯特大学。培训计划包括十一名教职人员， 他们所有人都研究人类复杂行为的学习和发展 动物。该计划反映了我们对合成材料潜力的认识 学习研究方法：计算、神经生理学和 学习和发展可塑性的行为研究询问了许多 相同的问题并且相互提供信息；同时，他们带来 对学习和发展问题的独特视角 它们的整合带来了新的见解。因此，我们的计划旨在培训 学生从联合研究学习和发展可塑性 行为、计算和神经生理学方法的观点。 我们大学团队的周围是功能成熟的项目 每个相关领域和系统。我们请求支持 4 每年招收博士前学生和2名博士后；当与其他组合时 的支持来源，这允许大约 10-12 名博士前学生 该计划以及相关计划的其他学生。学员入场 通过脑和认知科学系并接受核心培训 学习、发展与生物学、语言与 认知、知觉、基础和综合神经科学以及研究 行为研究、计算方面的方法课程和研究经验 建模和神经科学研究。如此广泛的培训成为可能 事实上，我们的项目教师拥有 5 个不同学科的学位 并对来自各种不同领域的重叠问题进行研究 方法论途径。我们目前的学员专注于学习和 发展可塑性体现了我们能够培养学生的高质量 吸引;我们最近的毕业生证明了我们在安置我们的学生方面所取得的成功 担任学术和研究职位的学生。
