An account is offered to change over time in English verb morphology, based on a connectionist approach to how morphological knowledge is acquired and used. A technique is first described that was developed for modeling historical change in connectionist networks, and that technique is applied to model English verb inf…

Early identification of hearing loss through screening, such as pure-tone audiometry, is a crucial aspect of preventive pediatric care that helps minimize negative developmental outcomes. However, non-native English-speaking (NNES) children, often immigrants or children of immigrant families, encounter systemic barrier…
