The Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language is
pleased to announce the third biennial Workshop on Infant Language Development
(WILD). The overarching goal of WILD is to bring together scientists with
different perspectives and methodological approaches to the study of early
language and cognitive development. The meeting will be held between June 15th
