    "title": "A dynamic neural model of memory, attention and cross-situational word learning",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Recent empirical studies have affirmed the fundamental role\nof attention and memory processes in statistical word learning\ntasks. These processes interact in complex ways to guide\nspontaneous looking behaviors of learners as well as\ndetermine their overall learning performance. On the\nmodelling side, studies have made it clear that computational\nmodels must provide process-based rather than only\ncomputational accounts of word learning, because these can\nconnect to the empirically observed behaviors at a moment-\nto-moment timescale. Thus, here we present a neurally-\ngrounded process model of word learning called WOLVES\n(Word-Object Learning Via Visual Exploration in Space) that\nintegrates visual dynamics and word-object binding across\nmultiple timescales. WOLVES integrates multiple established\ndynamic neural field models to allow fine-grained indexing of\ncomponent processes driving the looking-learning loop. We\nreport simulation results for three empirical cross-situational\nword learning experiments to validate the model.",
