Human Speechome Project
Study of children's language acquisition / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Human Speechome Project ("speechome" as an approximate rhyme for "genome") is an effort to closely observe and model the language acquisition of a child over the first three years of life.
The project was conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Laboratory by the Associate Professor Deb Roy[1] with an array of technology that is used to comprehensively but unobtrusively observe a single child – Roy's own son[2] – with the resulting data being used to create computational models to yield further insight into language acquisition.[3]
