Language and perceptual categorisation.
In a pioneering set of experiments, Rosch investigated the colour processing of a remote traditional culture. It was concluded that colours form universally natural and salient categories. However, our own cross-cultural research, backed up by neuropsychological data and interference studies, indicates that perceptual categories are derived from the words in the speaker's language. The new data...
متن کاملA Feedback Model of Perceptual Learning and Categorisation
Top-down, feedback, influences are known to have significant effects on visual information processing. Such influences are also likely to affect perceptual learning. This article employs a computational model of the cortical region interactions underlying visual perception to investigate possible influences of top-down information on learning. The results suggest that feedback could bias the wa...
متن کاملRelationship between Handwriting Legibility and Speed and Perceptual-Motor Skills in Persian language Students
The purpose of this inquiry was to examine the interrelations among handwriting legibility and speed, and underlying perceptual-motor skills in Persian language students. Seventy students (26 male, 44 female; 10.21 ± 1.02 yr; 30 poor and 40 good control hand writers) were assessed during a copying task. The children completed the visual-motor control (VMC), upper-limb speed and dexterity (ULSD)...
متن کاملTowards Language Independent Automated Learning of Text Categorisation Models
We describe the results of extensive machine learning experiments on large collections of Reuters' English and German newswires. The goal of these experiments was to automatically discover classi cation patterns that can be used for assignment of topics to the individual newswires. Our results with the English newswire collection show a very large gain in performance as compared to published be...
متن کاملAspects of Speech Act Categorisation: Towards Generating Teachers’ Language
In this paper we examine a possible method for classifying speech acts produced by human teachers, with a view of informing the designs of intelligent natural language tutors and of providing the basis for a formal analysis of the effects that teachers’ language has on students’ learning. We argue that traditional means as initiated by the Ordinary Language Philosophers such as Austin (1962), G...
