- 16:4916:49, 10 April 2015 diff hist 0 List of rum brands La Reunion is incorrectly listed as Caribbean. Actually it's in the Indian Ocean, near Mauritius! (I've checked the first rum listed, Rhum Charette, and it's definitely from the Indian Ocean. I'm moving it to same list as Mauritius.

- 05:4105:41, 7 February 2014 diff hist 0 m Impulsivity →Automatic vs. controlled processes/cognitive control: Fixed a typo: "effortful" (which made no sense) to "automatic" (which fits the text immediately preceding and following).

14 September 2013
- 18:3118:31, 14 September 2013 diff hist −5 Language acquisition Mostly just stylistic, but removed the claim that the "vocabulary" used in non-human animal communication is necessarily fixed for the species. This is clearly false, as detailed in Chapter 5 of Hauser, Marc D. (1996) The Evolution of Communication.
- 18:1518:15, 14 September 2013 diff hist +12 m Language acquisition Fixed some typos.
- 18:0618:06, 14 September 2013 diff hist +11 m Language acquisition →Statistical learning: Corrected small typos / infelicities.
- 18:0018:00, 14 September 2013 diff hist +396 Language acquisition →Statistical learning: Added text to clarify that statistical learning theory is by no means incompatible with a nativist view of language acquisition.
- 17:4517:45, 14 September 2013 diff hist +5 Language acquisition →Statistical learning: I corrected the text to represent the actual views and findings presented in the work cited. In particular, the article discusses word boundaries, not syntax.
- 17:2117:21, 14 September 2013 diff hist +47 m Language acquisition Broke up a complex sentence into two, and introduced a paragraph break.
- 17:1617:16, 14 September 2013 diff hist −9 m Language acquisition Fixed a typo.
- 17:1117:11, 14 September 2013 diff hist +174 Language acquisition I have attempted to explain the on-going nature-nurture debate regarding first language acquisition in more neutral, and currently accurate, terms.
- 16:2616:26, 14 September 2013 diff hist +266 Language acquisition I have corrected the statement that children have to re-learn the irregular past-tense forms after acquiring the regular rule. I have replaced it with a summary of an authoritative work on the topic, together with a citation.
- 16:2016:20, 14 September 2013 diff hist +149 Language acquisition I corrected the text indicating that overregularization errors result from a child being *taught* a rule of past-tense formation. Most (if not all) children acquire such rules without any "teaching," and nonetheless make the errors. Tag: Visual edit
