{"pk":26457,"title":"Working memory encoding of events and their participants: a neural networkmodel with applications in sensorimotor processing and sentence generation","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In this paper we present a model of how events and their partic-ipants are represented in working memory (WM). The model’scentral assumption is that events are experienced through se-quentially structured sensorimotor (SM) routines—as are theindividuals that participate in them. In the light of this assump-tion, we propose that events and individuals are stored in WMas prepared SM routines. This proposal allows a new mech-anism for binding representations of individuals to semanticroles such as AGENT and PATIENT. It also enables a novelaccount of how expectations about forthcoming events can in-fluence SM processing in real time as events are perceived.Finally, it supports an account of the interface between WMrepresentations and language.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"event perception; working memory; embodiedcognition; neural networks; syntactic heads"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3136698t","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Martin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Takac","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Otago","department":""},{"first_name":"Alistair","middle_name":"","last_name":"Knott","name_suffix":"","institution":"Comenius University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26457/galley/16093/download/"}]}
