Drawing on a general theory of cue-based learners described in detail elsewhere (Bertolo et al., 1997), we show here that a recently proposed learning algorithm (Fodor's Structural Triggers Learner (1997)) is an instance of a cue-based learner and that it is therefore unable to learn systems of linguistic parameters that have been proved to be beyond the reach of any cue-based learner We demonstrate this analytically, by investigating the behavior of the STL on a linguistically plausible space of syntactic parameters.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Long Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7pm0h3rz", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Stefano", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Bertolo", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences - MIT", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Kevin", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Broihier", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Universitat Regensburg", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Edward", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Gibson", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Kenneth", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Wexler", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Department of Psychology, University of California, Riverside", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1997-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32226/galley/23291/download/" } ] }
