{"pk":21705,"title":"Comparing online and post-processing pronunciation correction during orthographic incidental learning: A computational study with the BRAID-Acq model","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Reading acquisition primarily relies on orthographic learning.\nBehavioral studies show that familiarity with a novel word's\npronunciation facilitates learning, particularly in semantically\nmeaningful contexts. Two main components of orthographic\nlearning are commonly described: perceptual processing of\nthe visual stimulus, to infer corresponding phonological rep-\nresentations, and ‚Äúpronunciation correction‚Äù, to correct errors\nfrom perceptual processing. Currently, pronunciation correc-\ntion has not been featured in reading acquisition computa-\ntional models. This study uses BRAID-Acq, a reading ac-\nquisition model, to implement and compare two pronunciation\ncorrection mechanisms (an ‚Äúonline‚Äù and a ‚Äúpost-processing‚Äù\nvariant). We simulated learning of words with and without\nprior phonological knowledge and explored the impact of con-\ntext strength and size on learning. Results indicate that both\nmechanisms improve decoding. However, the post-processing\nmechanism induced implausible lexicalization for words with-\nout prior phonological knowledge, while the online mecha-\nnism did not. Overall, our simulation results suggest that pro-\nnunciation correction could be construed as an online process.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Psychology; Language learning; Reading; Bayesian modeling; Computational Modeling"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3sz9k56p","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Alexandra","middle_name":"","last_name":"Steinhilber","name_suffix":"","institution":"Laboratoire de Psychologie et NeuroCognition","department":""},{"first_name":"Sylviane","middle_name":"","last_name":"Valdois","name_suffix":"","institution":"CNRS et Université Grenoble Alpes","department":""},{"first_name":"Julien","middle_name":"","last_name":"Diard","name_suffix":"","institution":"CNRS - Université Grenoble Alpes","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21705/galley/11304/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21705/galley/22098/download/"}]}
