Comprehension of Simple Quanti ers Empirical Evaluation of a Computational Model

چکیده
We compare time needed for understanding di erent types of quanti ers. In the rst study, we show that the distinction between quanti ers recognized by nite-automata and push-down automata is psychologically relevant. In the second study, we compare comprehension of push-down quanti ers in universes with randomly placed objects and those where objects were ordered in some speci c way simplifying (with respect to memory resources) computational task. The reaction time in the second case is signi cantly shorter than in the rst case.

متن کاملComprehension of Simple Quantifiers: Empirical Evaluation of a Computational Model
We examine the verification of simple quantifiers in natural language from a computational model perspective. We refer to previous neuropsychological investigations of the same problem and suggest extending their experimental setting. Moreover, we give some direct empirical evidence linking computational complexity predictions with cognitive reality. In the empirical study we compare time neede...
متن کاملFirst order queries on nite structures over the reals
We investigate properties of nite relational structures over the reals expressed by rst order sentences whose predicates are the re lations of the structure plus arbitrary polynomial inequalities and whose quanti ers can range over the whole set of reals In constraint programming terminology this corresponds to Boolean real polyno mial constraint queries on nite structures The fact that quanti ...
