Trott, Sean; Jones, Cameron; Chang, Tyler; Michaelov, James; Bergen, Benjamin – Cognitive Science, 2023
Humans can attribute beliefs to others. However, it is unknown to what extent this ability results from an innate biological endowment or from experience accrued through child development, particularly exposure to language describing others' mental states. We test the viability of the language exposure hypothesis by assessing whether models…

Unger, Layla; Vales, Catarina; Fisher, Anna V. – Cognitive Science, 2020
The organization of our knowledge about the world into an interconnected network of concepts linked by relations profoundly impacts many facets of cognition, including attention, memory retrieval, reasoning, and learning. It is therefore crucial to understand how organized semantic representations are acquired. The present experiment investigated…

Lau, Jey Han; Clark, Alexander; Lappin, Shalom – Cognitive Science, 2017
The question of whether humans represent grammatical knowledge as a binary condition on membership in a set of well-formed sentences, or as a probabilistic property has been the subject of debate among linguists, psychologists, and cognitive scientists for many decades. Acceptability judgments present a serious problem for both classical binary…

Reilly, Jamie; Hung, Jinyi; Westbury, Chris – Cognitive Science, 2017
Arbitrary symbolism is a linguistic doctrine that predicts an orthogonal relationship between word forms and their corresponding meanings. Recent corpora analyses have demonstrated violations of arbitrary symbolism with respect to concreteness, a variable characterizing the sensorimotor salience of a word. In addition to qualitative semantic…
