Connectionist Models of Word Reading
نویسنده
چکیده
Connectionist models of word reading attempt to explain the computational mechanisms underlying this important skill. The goal of this research is an integrated theory of reading and its brain bases, with the computational model as the interface between the two. The models are governed by computational principles that differ considerably from naive intuitions but nonetheless account for many aspects of normal and impaired (dyslexic) reading.

Coltheart and Rastle (1994) and Rastle and Coltheart (1999) observe that their Dual Route Cascaded (DRC) model of single-word reading has a left -to-right grapheme-tophoneme correspondence mechanism, distinguishing it from connectionist models of word naming which possess no such serial mechanism. In the DRC an irregular grapheme to phoneme correspondence near the beginning of a word (e.g. chef...

The Plaut, McClelland, Seidenberg and Patterson (1996) connectionist model of reading was evaluated at two points early in its training against reading data collected from British children on two occasions during their first year of literacy instruction. First, the network’s non-word reading was poor relative to word reading when compared with the children. Second, the network made more non-lex...
متن کاملA connectionist approach to word reading and acquired dyslexia: extension to sequential processing
A connectionist approach to word reading, based on the principles of distributed representation, graded learning of statistical structure, and interactivity in processing, has led to the development of explicit computational models which account for a wide range of data on normal skilled reading and on patterns of reading impairment due to brain damage. There have, however, been recent empirica...

Dual-Route and Connectionist Single-Route models of reading have been at odds over claims as to the correct explanation of the reading process. Recent Dual-Route models predict that subjects should show an increased naming latency for irregular words when the irregularity is earlier in the word (e.g. chef is slower than glow)-a prediction that has been connrmed in human experiments. Since this ...
متن کاملDo current connectionist learning models account for reading development in different languages?
Learning to read a relatively irregular orthography, such as English, is harder and takes longer than learning to read a relatively regular orthography, such as German. At the end of grade 1, the difference in reading performance on a simple set of words and nonwords is quite dramatic. Whereas children using regular orthographies are already close to ceiling, English children read only about 40...
