Confidence scales: a new approach to derived environment effects
This paper introduces representational confidence scales as a new dimension in phonological representations. In addition to representing individual segments in terms of distinctive features, each individual segment token is, on this proposal, lexically stored with a confidence value reflecting the robustness of its storage in memory. This proposal offers a way of building psycholinguistic and p...
متن کاملA non-representational approach to imagined action
This study addresses the dynamical nature of a “representation-hungry” cognitive task involving an imagined action. In our experiment, participants were handed rods that systematically increased or decreased in length on subsequent trials. Participants were asked to judge whether or not they thought they could reach for a distant object with the hand-held rod. The results are in agreement with ...
متن کاملRepresenting Complex Problems: A Representational Epistemic Approach
Understanding how to represent problems is a multidisciplinary endeavor. Cognitive science has shown the substantial impact that alternative forms of representation can have on the difficulty of solving problems (e.g., Kaplan & Simon, 1990; Kotovsky, Hayes, & Simon, 1985; Zhang, 1997). It has also provided explanations why certain forms of representation, such as diagrams, may confer substantia...
متن کاملRepresentational Effects in a Rule Discovery Task
In the Wason (1960) rule discovery task reasoners must infer a rule that governs the production of number sequences. The task instructions are designed such that reasoners’ initial hypotheses are invariantly narrower than the correct rule. The inferential challenge lies in discovering the scope of these initial hypotheses. The traditional task departs from realworld hypothesis testing in at lea...
متن کاملDerived Environment Effects and Consistency of Exponence
In this article, I defend the assumption that the generator function Gen of Optimality Theory should be restricted by a principle called Consistency of Exponence and I show how this assumption helps us understand so-called Derived Environment Effects.1 Consistency of Exponence was introduced almost in some of the earliest work on Optimality Theory (McCarthy & Prince, 1993, 1994) as a reasonable...
