چکیده

We apply a multitrace model of memory to explain performance in the artificial grammar task. The model blends the convolution method for representation from Jones and Mewhort's BEAGLE model (Jones, M. N., & Mewhort, D. J. K. (2007). Representing word meaning and order information in a composite holographic lexicon. Psychological Review, 114, 1-37) of semantic memory with the multitrace storage and retrieval model from Hintzman's MINERVA 2 model (Hintzman, D. L. (1986). "Schema abstraction" in a multiple-trace memory model. Psychological Review, 93, 411-428) of episodic memory. We report an artificial grammar experiment, and we fit the model to those data at the level of individual items. We argue that performance in the artificial grammar task is best understood as a process of retrospective inference from memory.

Holographic stimulus representation and judgement of grammaticality in an exemplar model: Combining item and serial-order information

We examine representation assumptions for learning in the artificial grammar task. Strings of letters can be represented by first building vectors to represent individual letters and then concatenating the letter vectors into a vector of larger dimensionality. Although such a representation works well in selected examples of artificial-grammar learning, it fails in examples that depend on left-...

Dissociating Sources of Knowledge in Artificial Grammar Learning

Previous studies have suggested that individuals use both implicit and explicit, as well as rule and exemplar-based knowledge, to make grammaticality judgments in artificial grammar learning (AGL) tasks. Experiment 1 explored the importance of explicit mechanisms in the learning of exemplar and rule-based information by using a dual-task during AGL training. We utilized a balanced chunk strengt...

The Comparative Effect of Task Type and Learning Conditions on the Achievement of Specific Target Forms

The completion mode (individual, collaborative) of the tasks and the conditions under which these modes are performed have been reported to play an important role in language learning. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of employing text editing tasks performed both individually and collaboratively, on the achievement of English grammar under explicit and implicit learning condi...

Soccer Goalkeeper Task Modeling and Analysis by Petri Nets

In a robotic soccer team, goalkeeper is an important challenging role, which has different characteristics from the other teammates. This paper proposes a new learning-based behavior model for a soccer goalkeeper robot by using Petri nets. The model focuses on modeling and analyzing, both qualitatively and quantitatively, for the goalkeeper role so that we have a model-based knowledge of the ta...

Grammar-based object representations in a scene parsing task

This paper addresses the nature of visual representations associated with complex structured objects, and the role of these representations in perceptual organization. We use a novel experimental paradigm to probe subjects’ intuitions about parsing a scene consisting of overlapping two-dimensional objects. The objects are generated from an abstract 2-dimensional image grammar, which specifies t...
