In the cued recall task, we manipulated\nthree parameters: the weights of the connexions\nin the net, the size of the short-term memory\nbuffer and the representations of the sentence\nused as a cue. The main results show that w e\nneed to simulate the macroprocessing and the\npriw knowlegde of the learners to be able to\nincrease the simulations. In the recognition\ntask, w e simulate the representation of 4 levels\n(surface syntactic variation, close semantic\nvariation, inference and distant semantic\nvariationreferring to the same situation model\nthan the text) using different connexion weights\nfunction the decay of the memory trace. The\nmain results show the necessity to take into\naccount these levels to explain the subjects'\ncognitive processes involved in a\ncomprehension/memcM-ization task. For both\nexperiments, the activation values obtained\ncOTTectly fitthe hierarchy of the experimental\ndata.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1bp6190w","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Isabelle","middle_name":"","last_name":"Tapiero","name_suffix":"","institution":"Universitie de Paris 8","department":""},{"first_name":"Guy","middle_name":"","last_name":"Denhiere","name_suffix":"","institution":"Universitie de Paris 8","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/31786/galley/22854/download/"}]}
