Gary Marcus — Education: Ph.D. in Brain and Cognitive Sciences, MIT (1993); B.A. from Hampshire College
The source confirms Hampshire College degree (though specifies BS rather than B.A.), MIT PhD in 1993, and Steven Pinker as doctoral advisor. However, the source lists 'MS, PhD' from MIT, not just 'Ph.D. in Brain and Cognitive Sciences.' The source does not explicitly state the PhD field as 'Brain and Cognitive Sciences' — it only mentions his thesis topic ('On rules and exceptions: an investigation of inflectional morphology') and research areas. The degree type from Hampshire College is listed as 'BS' (Bachelor of Science) in the infobox, not 'B.A.' (Bachelor of Arts), which is a minor discrepancy. The claim is substantially accurate but contains minor variations in degree designation.
