Dual-Coding Theory and Connectionist Lexical Selection
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce the bilingual dual-coding theory as a model for bilingual mental representation. Based on this model, lexical selection neural networks are implemented for a connectionist transfer project in machine translation.

In this study we examined how the introduction of a parallel finger-tapping task influences second language speech (L2) encoding mechanisms and monitoring processes and how the level of proficiency impacts the efficiency and accuracy of L2 performance under single and dual task conditions. The results indicated that imposing dual task demands has a negative effect on the accuracy of lexical sel...

متن کاملDissociating Word Reading and Lexical Decision in Neglect Dyslexia: A Connectionist Account
Neglect dyslexia is a reading impairment acquired as a consequence of brain injury characterized by failures to read verbal material on the left side of a text or at the beginning of words. Neglect dyslexia patients make many errors when naming isolated words, whereas they perform nearly normally when required to make a lexical decision judgment. This behavior has been interpreted in terms of a...
متن کاملLexical contact during speech perception: A connectionist model
A connectionist architecture comprised of cell assemblies was developed and applied to the problem of speech perception at the phonemic and lexical levels. The problem addressed involved a disagreement amongst theorists over the possible sources of lexical priming effects. Speech was encoded in the model as the temporal activity of phoneme units that are connected to higher-level word assemblie...
