The Question of Referentiality

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most theorists have offered different accounts of reference fixing for names, demonstratives, and indexicals. Indeed, this variety can seem an inevitable response to a certain class of hard cases. Here, I will offer a unified account of reference fixing equally capable of handling these cases.

Eye movements of children with and without developmental dyslexia in an alphabetic script during alphabetic and logographic tasks

Scientific Reports
Eye movements (EM) during naming alphabetic versus logographic stimuli in children with and without developmental dyslexia (DD) were examined for each stimulus separately to identify conspicuous characteristics that influence naming performance.

Independent Effects of Age, Education, Verbal Working Memory, Motor Speed of Processing, Locality, and Morphosyntactic Category on Verb‐Related Morphosyntactic Production: Evidence From Healthy Aging

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the role of locality (a task/material‐related variable), demographic factors (age, education, and sex), cognitive capacities (verbal working memory [WM], verbal short‐term memory [STM], speed of processing [SOP], and inhibition), and morphosyntactic category (time reference and grammatical aspect) in verb‐related ...

Running head: PHONOLOGICAL DISTANCE MEASURES Phonological Distance Measures

, 2008
Phonological distance measures 2 Phonological distance can be measured computationally using formally specified algorithms. This work investigates two such measures, one developed by Nerbonne and Heeringa (1997) based on Levenshtein distance (Levenshtein,

Charting New Paths in the Study of Kin Term Acquisition

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Kin terms appear among infants’ earliest words, yet a full mastery of kin concepts typically emerges only in late childhood. This prolonged developmental trajectory reflects not only children's acquisition of an abstract relational system of words, but also their growing understanding of social relationships and interactional norms.

Rime and syllabic effects in phonological priming between French spoken words. [PDF]

, 1997
Phonological priming between spoken words was examined using CVCVC bisyllabic pseudoword primes and word or pseudoword targets. The influence of different types of overlap was compared, prime and target sharing the coda, the rime or the final ...

Words and Scents: How Language Shapes and Skews Olfactory Processing

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Research on language and olfaction presents a paradox. Language appears to support the formation of odor categories, yet it can also hinder odor recognition through verbal interference, highlighting that different olfactory processes get affected in distinct ways.

Combining Nonword and Sentence Repetition to Identify Developmental Language Disorder. [PDF]

Int J Lang Commun Disord
ABSTRACT Background Nonword repetition and sentence repetition have been useful in identification of developmental language disorder (DLD). Each task has demonstrated good sensitivity and specificity, though their diagnostic accuracy has varied across children's ages, specific measures, and languages.

Limits to Language Prediction: Findings From Diverse Populations

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract For a model in cognitive science to adequately explain cognitive processes across different populations, empirical findings from diverse participant groups are essential. This paper selectively reviews studies that investigated prediction in different populations and discusses what they reveal about the mechanisms and role of language ...

Holographic Reduced Representations for Oscillator Recall: A Model of Phonological Production [PDF]

, 2002
This paper describes a new computational model of phonological production, Holographic Reduced Representations for Oscillator Recall, or HORROR. HORROR's architecture accounts for phonological speech error patterns by combining the hierarchical ...
