From Scientific American (Interview) -- JONAH LEHRER: What first made you interested in studying the development of language in children?
GARY F. MARCUS: I came to language development through early exposure to computers, back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when I was in grade school. I was one of those kids who took to programming like a fish takes to water, and very soon wanted to push the limits: What could I get a computer to do?
