{"pk":29701,"title":"The best-laid plans of mice and men: Competition between top-down andpreceding-item cues in plan execution","subtitle":null,"abstract":"There is evidence that the process of executing a plannedutterance involves the use of both preceding-context and top-down cues. Utterance-initial words are cued only by the top-down plan. In contrast, non-initial words are cued both bytop-down cues and preceding-context cues. Co-existence ofboth cue types raises the question of how they interact duringlearning. We argue that this interaction is competitive: itemsthat tend to be preceded by predictive preceding-context cuesare harder to activate from the plan without this predictivecontext. A novel computational model of this competition isdeveloped. The model is tested on a corpus of repetitiondisfluencies and shown to account for the influences onpatterns of restarts during production. In particular, this modelpredicts a novel Initiation Effect: following an interruption,speakers re-initiate production from words that tend to occurin utterance-initial position, even when they are not initial inthe interrupted utterance.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Serial order; language production; repetition;initiation; retrieval; planning; HiTCH"}],"section":"Poster Session 1","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2sv0095k","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Zara","middle_name":"","last_name":"Harmon","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Maryland","department":""},{"first_name":"Vsevolod","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kapatsinski","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Oregon","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2020-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29701/galley/19558/download/"}]}
