{"pk":21389,"title":"A working memory model of sentence processing as binding morphemes to syntactic positions","subtitle":null,"abstract":"During sentence processing, comprehenders have to maintain a mapping between lexical items and their position in the sentence (syntactic position). We propose a model of morpheme-position binding in working memory, based on models such as 'serial-order-in-a-box' and its SOB-complex-span version. Like those working memory models, our sentence processing version derives a range of attested memory interference effects from the process of item-position binding. We present simulation results capturing similarity-based interference and item-distortion. These two major classes of interference effects have not received a unified account before, and are not fully captured by cue-based retrieval models.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Linguistics; Language understanding; Memory; Syntax; Computational Modeling; Neural Networks"}],"section":"Papers with Oral Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1p7872pc","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Maayan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Keshev","name_suffix":"","institution":"The Hebrew University of Jerusalem","department":""},{"first_name":"Mandy","middle_name":"","last_name":"Cartner","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tel Aviv University","department":""},{"first_name":"Aya","middle_name":"","last_name":"Meltzer-Asscher","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tel Aviv University","department":""},{"first_name":"Brian","middle_name":"","last_name":"Dillon","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Massachusetts Amherst","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T12:00:00-06:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21389/galley/10988/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21389/galley/21834/download/"}]}
