    "abstract": "Several studies examined cue competition in human learning\nby testing learners on a combination of conflicting cues\nrooting for different outcomes, with each cue perfectly\npredicting its outcome. A common result has been that\nlearners faced with cue conflict choose the outcome\nassociated with the rare cue (the Inverse Base Rate Effect,\nIBRE). Here, we investigate cue competition including IBRE\nwith sentences containing cues to meanings in a visual world.\nWe do not observe IBRE. Instead we find that position in the\nsentence strongly influences cue salience. Faced with conflict\nbetween an initial cue and a non-initial cue, learners choose\nthe outcome associated with the initial cue, whether frequent\nor rare. However, a frequent configuration of non-initial cues\nthat are not sufficiently salient on their own can overcome a\ncompeting salient initial cue rooting for a different meaning.\nThis provides a possible explanation for certain recurring\npatterns in language change.",
