Shifting Categories: An Exemplar-based Computational Model of Chain Shifts
Explanations for historical chain shifts tend towards the teleological, using abstract ideas like balance and equilibrium as the organizing principles of a language’s sounds. This paper investigates whether there are more basic phonetic principles governing the behavior of sound categories with respect to one another. Using a computational simulation of agents communicating with each other, I s...
متن کاملAn Exemplar Model of Classification in Single and Combined Categories
This paper describes an exemplar-based model of people’s classification and typicality judgements in both single and combined categories. This model, called the diagnostic evidence model, explains the observed family resemblance structure of single categories; the productive nature of category combination; the observed overextension of typicality judgments in some combined categories; and the s...
متن کاملToward an Exemplar-based Computational Model for Cognitive Grammar 1 Usage-based Models of Language Structure
An exemplar-based computational framework is presented which is compatible with Cognitive Grammar. In an exemplar-based approach, language acquisition is modeled as the incremental, data-oriented storage of experiential patterns, and language performance as the extrapolation of information from those stored patterns on the basis of a language-independent information-theoretic similarity metric....
متن کاملAn exemplar of model-based cognitive neuroscience.
Are categories learned by forming abstract prototypes or by remembering specific exemplars? Mack, Preston, and Love observed that patterns of functional MRI (fMRI) brain activity were more consistent with patterns of representations predicted by exemplar models than by prototype models. Their work represents the theoretical power of emerging approaches to model-based cognitive neuroscience.
متن کاملExemplar-Based Random-Walk Model 1 An Exemplar-Based Random-Walk Model of Categorization and Recognition
Exemplar-Based Random-Walk Model 2 Abstract A fundamental issue in cognitive psychology and cognitive science concerns the manner in which people represent categories in memory and make decisions about category membership. In this chapter we provide a review of a process-oriented mathematical model of categorization known as the exemplar-based random-walk (EBRW) model (Nosofsky & Palmeri, 1997a...
