A Matter of Memory? Age‐Invariant Relative Clause Disambiguation and Memory Interference in Older Adults

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Past research suggests that Working Memory plays a role in determining relative clause attachment bias. Disambiguation preferences may further depend on Processing Speed and explicit memory demands in linguistic tasks. Given that Working Memory and Processing Speed decline with age, older adults offer a way of investigating the factors ...

Metaphors and the Invention of Writing

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The foundation of ancient, invented writing systems lies in the predominant iconicity of their sign shapes. However, these shapes are often used not for their referential meaning but in a metaphorical way, whereby one entity stands for another.

The subject of this dissertation is boosting research on word sense disambiguation (WSD) for German. WSD is a very active area of research in computational linguistics, but most of the work is focused on English. One of the factors that has hampered WSD research for other languages such as German is the lack of appropriate resources, particularly in ...

Where Mathematical Symbols Come From

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a sense in which the symbols used in mathematical expressions and formulas are arbitrary. After all, arithmetic would be no different if we would replace the symbols ‘+$+$’ or ‘8’ by different symbols. Nevertheless, the shape of many mathematical symbols is in fact well motivated in practice.

Perceptual Priors Update Contextual Feedback Processing in V1

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Contextual information and prior knowledge facilitate perceptual processing, improving our recognition of even distorted or obstructed visual inputs. As a result, neuronal processing elicited by identical sensory inputs varies depending on the context in which we encounter those inputs.
