Freudenthal, Daniel; Ramscar, Michael; Leonard, Laurence B.; Pine, Julian M. – Cognitive Science, 2021
Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) have significant deficits in language ability that cannot be attributed to neurological damage, hearing impairment, or intellectual disability. The symptoms displayed by children with DLD differ across languages. In English, DLD is often marked by severe difficulties acquiring verb inflection.…

Kachergis, George; Yu, Chen; Shiffrin, Richard M. – Cognitive Science, 2017
Prior research has shown that people can learn many nouns (i.e., word--object mappings) from a short series of ambiguous situations containing multiple words and objects. For successful cross-situational learning, people must approximately track which words and referents co-occur most frequently. This study investigates the effects of allowing…

Stevens, Jon Scott; Gleitman, Lila R.; Trueswell, John C.; Yang, Charles – Cognitive Science, 2017
We evaluate here the performance of four models of cross-situational word learning: two global models, which extract and retain multiple referential alternatives from each word occurrence; and two local models, which extract just a single referent from each occurrence. One of these local models, dubbed "Pursuit," uses an associative…

Blything, Ryan P.; Ambridge, Ben; Lieven, Elena V. M. – Cognitive Science, 2018
This study adjudicates between two opposing accounts of morphological productivity, using English past-tense as its test case. The single-route model (e.g., Bybee & Moder, 1983) posits that both regular and irregular past-tense forms are generated by analogy across stored exemplars in associative memory. In contrast, the dual-route model…

Silberman, Yaron; Bentin, Shlomo; Miikkulainen, Risto – Cognitive Science, 2007
Words become associated following repeated co-occurrence episodes. This process might be further determined by the semantic characteristics of the words. The present study focused on how semantic and episodic factors interact in incidental formation of word associations. First, we found that human participants associate semantically related words…
