In addition, the model and simula-\ntions (1) demonstrate h o w information about stress\ncan be utilized in generating syllable-like percep-\ntions; (2) provide a simple means of extracting static\nrepresentations firom a dynamic and co-articulated\nsignal; and (3) indicate that the development of \"at-\ntnictor\" states may be necessary in network models\nof these phenomena.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/83f6f92c","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Prahlad","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gupta","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Michael","middle_name":"C.","last_name":"Mozer","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Colorado","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1993-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31705/galley/22773/download/"}]}
