Tapping toddlers' evolving semantic representation via gesture.
PURPOSE This study presents evidence that gesture is a means to understanding the semantic representations of toddlers. METHOD The data were part of a study of toddlers' word learning conducted by N. C. Capone and K. K. McGregor (2005). The object function probe from that study was administered after 1 exposure and after 3 exposures to objects. Here, toddlers' gestures were described and thei...
متن کاملUnsupervised Learning by Backward Inhibition
Backward inhibition in a two-layer connectionist network can be used as an alternative to, or an enhancement of, the competitive model for unsupervised learning. Two feature discovery algorithms based on backward inhibition are presented. It is shown that they are superior to the competitive feature discovery algorithm in feature independence and controllable grain. Moreover, the representation...
متن کاملThe effect of semantic representation on toddlers' word retrieval.
PURPOSE This study tested the hypothesis that depth of semantic representation influences toddlers' word retrieval. METHOD Nineteen toddlers participated under 3 word learning conditions in this longitudinal study. Gestures cued attention to object shape (SHP) or function (FNC) in the experimental conditions. No semantic cue was provided under a control condition (CTL). Word learning conditio...
متن کاملTask Dominance Determines Backward Inhibition in Task Switching
Switching between tasks is assumed to be accompanied by inhibiting currently irrelevant, but competing tasks. A dominant task that strongly interferes with performing a weaker task may receive especially strong inhibition. We tested this prediction by letting participants switch among three tasks that differ in dominance: a location discrimination task with strong stimulus-response bindings (re...
متن کاملA Scalable Backward Chaining-Based Reasoner for a Semantic Web
In this paper we consider knowledge bases that organize information using ontologies. Specifically, we investigate reasoning over a semantic web where the underlying knowledge base covers linked data about science research that are being harvested from the Web and are supplemented and edited by community members. In the semantic web over which we want to reason, frequent changes occur in the un...
