Paape, Dario; Avetisyan, Serine; Lago, Sol; Vasishth, Shravan – Cognitive Science, 2021
We present computational modeling results based on a self-paced reading study investigating number attraction effects in Eastern Armenian. We implement three novel computational models of agreement attraction in a Bayesian framework and compare their predictive fit to the data using k-fold cross-validation. We find that our data are better…

Ianì, Francesco; Cutica, Ilaria; Bucciarelli, Monica – Cognitive Science, 2017
The deep comprehension of a text is tantamount to the construction of an articulated mental model of that text. The number of correct recollections is an index of a learner's mental model of a text. We assume that another index of comprehension is the timing of the gestures produced during text recall; gestures are simultaneous with speech when…

LeBlanc, Mark D.; Weber-Russell, Sylvia – Cognitive Science, 1996
A growing body of empirical and theoretical work indicates that young children (grades K-3) have difficulties solving word problems because of deficient language and text comprehension strategies. Describes a computer simulation designed to model working memory demands in "bottom-up" comprehension of arithmetic word problems, offering a…
