Modeling Sentence Processing In Act-R
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a series of simulations of behavioral data by casting a simple parsing model in the cognitive architecture ACT-R. We show that constraints defined in ACT-R, specifically, those relating to activation, can account for a range of facts about human sentence processing. In doing so, we argue that resource limitation in working memory is better defined as an artefact of very general constraints on information processing.

An Activation-Based Model of Sentence Processing as Skilled Memory Retrieval
We present a detailed process theory of the moment-by-moment working-memory retrievals and associated control structure that subserve sentence comprehension. The theory is derived from the application of independently motivated principles of memory and cognitive skill to the specialized task of sentence parsing. The resulting theory construes sentence processing as a series of skilled associati...
متن کاملA Sentence Interaction Network for Modeling Dependence between Sentences
Modeling interactions between two sentences is crucial for a number of natural language processing tasks including Answer Selection, Dialogue Act Analysis, etc. While deep learning methods like Recurrent Neural Network or Convolutional Neural Network have been proved to be powerful for sentence modeling, prior studies paid less attention on interactions between sentences. In this work, we propo...

In addition, if possible for each sentence, pointers are added to a long-term memory referent which reflects past experience with the situation described in the sentence. This system accounts for basic results in sentence memory without assuming different retention functions for surface, propositional, or situational information. The...

The present study intended to investigate the processing behavior of 2 groups of L2 learners of English (high and mid in proficiency) and a group of English native speakers on English active and passive reduced relative clauses. Three sets of tasks, an offline task, and 2 online tasks were conducted. Results revealed that the high-proficiency group’s performance was the same as that of the nati...
متن کاملACT-R as a Unified Architecture of Cognition: A Symposium in Honor of
This talk presents a theory and ACT-R-based model of human sentence comprehension that embodies the following claim: Sentence comprehension consists of a series of cuebased retrievals from short-term (and long-term) memory, subject to similarity-based interference and activation decay. ACT-R does not merely serve as an implementation language for the theory; rather it serves as the vehicle for ...
