Braine, Martin D. S.; And Others – Journal of Child Language, 1990
A study was undertaken to test the theory that canonical sentence schemas can sometimes assign argument structure to verbs. The theory has the advantage of explaining errors without postulating the acquisition of erroneous lexical entries that have to be learned, and it can be extended to other kinds of errors in the choice and placement of…

Bailin, Alan – CALICO Journal, 1988
Computer-assisted language instruction incorporating artificial intelligence (CALI-AI) is based on the assumption that human cognitive abilities can be reproduced by mechanical means. The major components of CALI-AI are: 1) natural language processing; 2) problem solving; 3) language learning; and 4) modeling teacher behavior. Language teachers…

Leonard, Laurence B. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1989
Attempts to demonstrate that specifically language-impaired (SLI) children can be viewed as normal learners faced with systematically altered input. By assuming SLI children are limited in their ability to perceive and hypothesize grammatical morphemes that are low in phonetic substance, many features of SLI children's language can be explained by…

Locke, John L. – Journal of Child Language, 1988
Suggests that Goad & Ingram's (1987) argument in favor of a cognitive model of phonological development failed to recognize the uniqueness of each individual's neural and vocal structures, ignored documented variability in the phonetic patterns of prelexical infants, and inexplicably assumed that inter-child variability implied the operation of…

Gazzaniga, Michael S. – Science, 1989
This article reviews the work on patients who have undergone partial or complete brain bisection and addresses the concept of modularity from three different perspectives: (1) structure-function correlations; (2) modular components of cognitive processes; and (3) integration of modular processes. Several brain pictures and diagrams are presented.…

John, Eleanor L. – Momentum, 1989
Describes Saint Pius V School's (Lynn, Massachusetts) program to help children build a language structure on which to arrange the linguistic elements they have already learned and will learn. Teachers use a structured direct phonetic approach to language development and reading based on the Orton-Gillingham Method. Reviews results. (DMM)

Wode, Henning – International Journal of Applied Linguistics, 1994
Argues that evolution of the phonological systems of natural languages and the typology of distinctive features is based on perceptual discontinuities of the auditory system. It is suggested that neonates rely on these innate sensitivities for acquisition of sound systems and that some phonological variation in early child phonology results from…

Ackerman, Brian P. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1994
Five experiments examined the extent and nature of the referential source errors of 5- to 10-year-old children who listened to stories containing a referential utterance. The results supported five conclusions about children's confusion of different sources of information in referential communication. (SW)

Robinson, Peter J.; Ha, Mee Aie – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1993
The generalizability of previous research claims about the development of automaticity in the adult learning of alphabet arithmetic programs to the context of adult second-language acquisition are examined. Tests with second-language learners of English suggest a transition from algorithm-based processing to memory-based processing. Sample tests…

Snyder, Lynn S.; Downey, Doris M. – Annals of Dyslexia, 1995
This study found that 30 children with reading disability (RD) performed more poorly than 30 children with normal reading achievement on tasks of serial rapid naming, verbal fluency, letter-based word retrieval, and articulatory speed. RD children had significantly longer reaction times and production durations on the serial naming task. Findings…

Losee, Robert M. – Information Processing & Management, 1996
The grammars of natural languages may be learned by using genetic algorithm systems such as LUST (Linguistics Using Sexual Techniques) that reproduce and mutate grammatical rules and parts-of-speech tags. In document retrieval or filtering systems, applying tags to the list of terms representing a document provides additional information about…

Koda, Keiko – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1994
First-language (L1) reading theories are examined from second- language (L2) perspectives to identify significant research voids related to L2 problems. Unique aspects of L2 reading are considered and three distinct areas are discussed: consequences of prior reading experience, effects of cross-linguistic processing, and compensatory devices for…

Anbar, Michael; Raulin, Michael – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1994
Five computerized role-playing scenarios accepting unrestricted natural language input were administered to 72 freshman medical students. The scenarios measured and automatically scored responses on five psychological dimensions: social skills, level of frustration, submissiveness, combativeness, and negotiative ability. Tests identified…

Hummel, Kirsten M. – Canadian Modern Language Review, 1995
Drawing on research on memory and on the effectiveness of pairing first-language dialogue with second-language script, and through analysis of the language processing occurring in the translation process, it is argued that translation may be an effective technique for second language instruction.

Taft, Marcus – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1994
Reviews research that supports the view that readers strip prefixed words of their prefix and lexically assess the words on the basis of their stem. An experiment using real and nonword stems found that nonwords that are considered to be stem morphemes are treated as being more wordlike than those that are not. (36 references) (MDM)
