....about 200 ms longer than the mean item duration. These slow reaction times suggest that postperceptual processes are involved, that may hinder some earlier competition effects during lexical selection. Therefore, as Marslen Wilson did, we decided to run a third experiment using the gating paradigm [6]. This technique does not rule out strategical biases, but can provide some information about early processing. 4. GATING Method. The materials used in this experiment were the same words as in the lexical decision and the repetition experiments (no pseudoword was included) Twenty additional ....

....on an experimental task for evaluation is always a difficult matter. Even with adequate justification, however, it is important to see how robust the conclusions are across different tasks. The task we chose was the gating task, in which successively longer portions of a test word are presented [16]. Following our theoretical framework, we tested observers under auditory, visual, and bimodal conditions [17] The test words were monosyllabic CVCs. Eight gating durations were tested. As expected, performance improved with increases in the duration of the test word. Auditory information was ....

....are supplied by the environment at the next moment in time. The task involves what might be called self supervised learning. Second, although language processing obviously involves a great deal more than prediction, prediction does seem to play a role in processing. Listeners can indeed predict (Grosjean, 1980), and sequences of words which violate expectations i.e. which are unpredictable result in distinctive electrical activity in the brain (Kutas, 1988; Kutas Hillyard, 1980; Tanenhaus et al., in press) Third, if we accept that prediction or anticipation plays a role in language learning, ....

....is solely due to imprecise predictions, and of course we recognize that the prediction task captures only a small part of natural language processing. Although not the only factor in sentence comprehension, there is evidence that comprehension is in part driven by the ability to anticipate (e.g. Grosjean, 198; MarslenWilson Tyler, 1980). The present findings illustrate general processing characteristics of our PDP model, and we believe similar behaviors would be observed in a comprehension task as well. The network, its architecture, and its representations suggest similar properties in the human processing mechanism. That the ....

....stages of language acquisition may treat idioms and other formulaic phrases as fixed lexical items (MacWhinney, 1978) This simulation should not be taken as a model of word acquisition. While listeners are clearly able to make predictions based on partial input (Marslen Wilson Tyler, 1980; Grosjean, 1980; Salasoo Pisoni, 1985) prediction is not the major goal of the language learner. Furthermore, the co occurrence of sounds is only part of what identifies a word as such. The environment in which those sounds are uttered, and the linguistic context are equally critical in establishing the ....

....at the crucial novel position, should in any way count as a success (at that position) given that we are testing for the network s generalization of other nouns into that position (p. 13) Now, adults, and presumably children too, are able to predict subsequent words given a particular context (Grosjean, 1980). If Hadley s criticism is taken at face value, we would expect children to be able to predict newly learned words in novel syntactic positions. This seems highly unlikely. For example, if a child had never heard the word boy in a NP conjunction context, then she would arguably never predict ....

....through the addition of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. In this paper we show how AI techniques can be used to recognize and represent context and so improve machine speech recognition, in much the same way that contextual knowledge improves word recognition in human to human conversation [1]. In this way, good sentence recognition can be attained even when the DSP methods are not sufficiently accurate by themselves. The combination of AI with DSP and statistical methods has not been widely addressed in the speech recognition or AI community. Our hybrid system is based on the use of ....
