Impaired Comprehension of Alternating Syntactic Constructions in Autism
Individuals on the higher-functioning end of the autism spectrum have significant impairments in communication. Language delay can occur, particularly in syntactic or structural linguistic knowledge. However, classically observed semantic deficits generally overshadow these structural deficits. This research examined the potential effects on comprehension of dative expressions that exhibited sy...
متن کاملSyntactic Adaptation in Language Comprehension
In this paper we investigate the manner in which the human language comprehension system adapts to shifts in probability distributions over syntactic structures, given experimentally controlled experience with those structures. We replicate a classic reading experiment, and present a model of the behavioral data that implements a form of Bayesian belief update over the course of the experiment.
متن کاملExpectation-based syntactic comprehension.
This paper investigates the role of resource allocation as a source of processing difficulty in human sentence comprehension. The paper proposes a simple information-theoretic characterization of processing difficulty as the work incurred by resource reallocation during parallel, incremental, probabilistic disambiguation in sentence comprehension, and demonstrates its equivalence to the theory ...
متن کاملDifficulty of Certain Sentence Constructions in Comprehension
Native speakers of a language find some sentences more difficult to understand than others. The sources of difficulty vary: some are lexical (e.g., the use of unknown words), some are due to the lack of contextual information (e.g., no shared knowledge), and some are due to structural complexity. Here we will focus on the difficulties caused by one kind of structural complexity, center embeddin...
متن کاملEffects of Syntactic Complexity in Discourse Comprehension
Comprehension deficits of spoken language have been widely described subsequent to damage to the left hemisphere (Nicholas and Brookshire, 1995). Research to date has primarily focused on comprehension of isolated words or sentences in persons with aphasia (pwa) (Yasuda, Nakamura & Beckman 2000). However, a few studies have suggested that pwa use heuristics (context and general knowledge) to fa...
