Multifaceted Role of Multilevel Statistical and Linguistic Information From Target Language in Predicting Second Language Verb–Preposition and Verb–Particle Construction Production

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores how statistical properties of verb–preposition and verb–particle constructions (VPCs) and their interplay in the target language shape second language (L2) production across L2 proficiency levels. We compared phrasal frequency and three contingency measures—mutual information (MI), forward delta P (ΔP), and backward ΔP—of ...

Using Psychometric Network Analysis to Examine the Components of Spoken Word Recognition

Journal of Cognition
Using language requires access to domain-specific linguistic representations, but also draws on domain-general cognitive skills. A key issue in current psycholinguistics is to situate linguistic processing in the network of human cognitive abilities ...

Gaze Behavior Across Proficiency Levels in Video‐Mediated Second Language Interactional Competence Assessment

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been an increasing interest in better understanding the role of embodied resources in second language (L2) assessment contexts and thus expanding the construct of interactional competence (IC). However, multimodal analysis has yet to break new grounds in video‐mediated interactions in digital assessment environments.

Error detection is not necessary for representation

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Some philosophers have recently proposed an error detection condition (EDC) for representation, such that for R$$ R $$ to be a representation for system S$$ S $$, S$$ S $$ must be capable of detecting errors in tokenings of R$$ R $$. We argue that this condition is unmotivated, and that it is too strong. We show that theories of representation that are

How generics obscure the logic of conditionals

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
This paper discusses counter‐examples to modus ponens and modus tollens involving modals and quantificational adverbs, and presents new counter‐examples with generic conditionals. We argue that the counter‐examples are spurious, and are explained by the domain‐restricting effects of if‐clauses.

Structural models of genome-wide covariance identify multiple common dimensions in autism

Nature Communications
Common genetic variation has been associated with multiple phenotypic features in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, our knowledge of shared genetic factor structures contributing to this highly heterogeneous phenotypic spectrum is limited.

Embedding mental files in the world

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Cognitive scientific explanations can take either a mechanistic or design perspective. Some recent philosophical works propose to apply the mechanistic perspective to the influential mental file framework. The design perspective, however, remains underexplored.

Generics favor stability

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Humans seek to predict, explain, and control their environments. Generalizations—like those expressed by “children like candy” and “cigarettes cause cancer”—provide one resource to facilitate these tasks. We develop a proposal tying the acceptability judgments of generics to the psychological functions of generalizations.

Looking for trouble: A common threat‐detection mechanism underlying pain, fear, and anxiety

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
I put forward a novel cognitive architecture for pain, fear, and anxiety, according to which these three capacities are underpinned by a common threat‐detection mechanism. This mechanism takes information about potential threats as input, assesses whether the threat is actual and, if it deems it is, outputs a threat representation.
