Gruenenfelder, Thomas M.; Recchia, Gabriel; Rubin, Tim; Jones, Michael N. – Cognitive Science, 2016
We compared the ability of three different contextual models of lexical semantic memory (BEAGLE, Latent Semantic Analysis, and the Topic model) and of a simple associative model (POC) to predict the properties of semantic networks derived from word association norms. None of the semantic models were able to accurately predict all of the network…

Twomey, Katherine E.; Ma, Lizhi; Westermann, Gert – Cognitive Science, 2018
Variability is prevalent in early language acquisition, but, whether it supports or hinders learning is unclear; while target variability has been shown to facilitate word learning, variability in competitor items has been shown to make the task harder. Here, we tested whether background variability could boost learning in a referent selection…

Yu, Chen; Ballard, Dana H.; Aslin, Richard N. – Cognitive Science, 2005
We examine the influence of inferring interlocutors' referential intentions from their body movements at the early stage of lexical acquisition. By testing human participants and comparing their performances in different learning conditions, we find that those embodied intentions facilitate both word discovery and word-meaning association. In…
