A Spreading-Activation Theory of Retrieval in Sentence Production.

Dell, Gary S.

Psychological Review, v93 n3 p283-321 Jul 1986

A theory of sentence production is presented that accounts for facts about speech errors, including (1) the kinds of errors that occur; (2) the constraints on their form; and (3) the conditions that precipitate them. Two simulation models are introduced to illustrate how the theory applies to phonological encoding processes. (Author/LMO)
