Dieter Gilberto Hillert (German:[ˈdi:tɐgɪlbɐtohɪlɐt]) is a German-American biolinguist and cognitive scientist.[1][2] "Dieter Hillert's Google scholar". His research focuses on the human language faculty as a cognitive and neurological system. He is known for work on the neurobiology of language, real-time sentence processing, and language evolution. He advocates comparative evolutionary studies of cognition, argues against tabula rasa models, and favors computational theories of mind.
