More recently, the instance theory of semantics (ITS,Jamieson, Avery, Johns, & Jones, 2018) reconceived a dis-tributional model in terms of instance-based memory, allow-ing context-specific construction of semantic knowledge at thetime of retrieval. By simulation, we show that additional en-coding and retrieval operations, consistent with learning andmemory theory, can play a crucial role in flexibly controllingthe construction of general versus specific semantic knowl-edge. We argue this consolidation of processing principlesholds insight for distributional theories of semantic cognition.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "distributional semantics; higher-order similarity;instance theory; surprise-driven learning; retrieval" } ], "section": "Papers accepted as Posters, appearing in proceedings only", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6p09x9gp", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Matthew", "middle_name": "J.C.", "last_name": "Crump", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Brooklyn College", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Randall", "middle_name": "K.", "last_name": "Jamieson", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Manitoba", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Brendan", "middle_name": "T.", "last_name": "Johns", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "McGill University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Michael", "middle_name": "N.", "last_name": "Jones", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Indiana University – Bloomington", "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/30140/galley/19994/download/" } ] }
