Cognitive aging and hearing acuity: modeling spoken language comprehension
The comprehension of spoken language has been characterized by a number of "local" theories that have focused on specific aspects of the task: models of word recognition, models of selective attention, accounts of thematic role assignment at the sentence level, and so forth. The ease of language understanding (ELU) model (Rönnberg et al., 2013) stands as one of the few attempts to offer a fully...
متن کاملCognitive supports and cognitive constraints on comprehension of spoken language.
Although comprehension of spoken language is ordinarily conducted without apparent effort, it is among the most complex of human activities. We illustrate this complexity by outlining the operations involved at the perceptual, attentional, and linguistic levels necessary for successful comprehension of speech in sentences and discourse. We describe how challenges to speech comprehension imposed...
متن کاملEye Movements and Spoken Language Comprehension
We present an overview of recent work in which eye movements are monitored as people follow spoken instructions to move objects or pictures in a visual workspace. Subjects naturally make saccadic eye-movements to objects that are closely time-locked to relevant information in the instruction. Thus the eye-movements provide a window into the rapid mental processes that underlie spoken language c...
متن کاملHierarchical processing in spoken language comprehension.
Understanding spoken language requires a complex series of processing stages to translate speech sounds into meaning. In this study, we use functional magnetic resonance imaging to explore the brain regions that are involved in spoken language comprehension, fractionating this system into sound-based and more abstract higher-level processes. We distorted English sentences in three acoustically ...
متن کاملCognitive Modeling Approaches to Language Comprehension Using Construction Grammar
This paper examines the relationship between modeling human sentence comprehension using cognitive architectures and approaches to linguistic knowledge representation using construction grammars. We review multiple computational models of language understanding that vary in their use of construction grammar and cognitive architectures. We present a case study: Lucia, that uses Embodied Construc...
