How language shapes prejudice against women: An examination across 45 world languages.

Journal of personality and social psychology Feb 20, 2020
Language provides an ever-present context for our cognitions and has the ability to shape them. Languages across the world can be gendered (language in which the form of noun, verb, or pronoun is presented as female or male) versus genderless. In an ...

Control of speaking rate is achieved by switching between qualitatively distinct cognitive "gaits": Evidence from simulation.

Psychological review Dec 30, 2019
That speakers can vary their speaking rate is evident, but how they accomplish this has hardly been studied. Consider this analogy: When walking, speed can be continuously increased, within limits, but to speed up further, humans must run. Are there ...

An Interactive Model of Target and Context for Aspect-Level Sentiment Classification.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience Dec 19, 2019
Aspect-level sentiment classification aims to identify the sentiment polarity of a review expressed toward a target. In recent years, neural network-based methods have achieved success in aspect-level sentiment classification, and these methods fall ...

Ease of learning explains semantic universals.

Cognition Nov 19, 2019
Semantic universals are properties of meaning shared by the languages of the world. We offer an explanation of the presence of such universals by measuring simplicity in terms of ease of learning, showing that expressions satisfying universals are si...

Five Ways in Which Computational Modeling Can Help Advance Cognitive Science: Lessons From Artificial Grammar Learning.

Topics in cognitive science Oct 30, 2019
There is a rich tradition of building computational models in cognitive science, but modeling, theoretical, and experimental research are not as tightly integrated as they could be. In this paper, we show that computational techniques-even simple one...

Cortical Tracking of Surprisal during Continuous Speech Comprehension.

Journal of cognitive neuroscience Sep 3, 2019
Speech comprehension requires rapid online processing of a continuous acoustic signal to extract structure and meaning. Previous studies on sentence comprehension have found neural correlates of the predictability of a word given its context, as well...

Learning mechanisms in cue reweighting.

Cognition Mar 28, 2019
Feedback has been shown to be effective in shifting attention across perceptual cues to a phonological contrast in speech perception (Francis, Baldwin & Nusbaum, 2000). However, the learning mechanisms behind this process remain obscure. We compare t...

How Concrete Do We Get Telling Stories?

Topics in cognitive science Jul 31, 2018
Will reading different stories about the same event in the world result in a similar image of the world? Will reading the same story by different people result in a similar proxy for experiencing the story? The answer to both questions is no because ...

Cognitive science in the era of artificial intelligence: A roadmap for reverse-engineering the infant language-learner.

Cognition Jan 8, 2018
Spectacular progress in the information processing sciences (machine learning, wearable sensors) promises to revolutionize the study of cognitive development. Here, we analyse the conditions under which 'reverse engineering' language development, i.e...

A Reading Model from the Perspective of Japanese Orthography: Connectionist Approach to the Hypothesis of Granularity and Transparency.

Journal of learning disabilities Jul 21, 2017
This study presents a computer simulation model of reading in Japanese syllabic kana and morphographic kanji. The model was based on the simulation model developed by Harm and Seidenberg for reading in English. The purpose of building the current mod...
