{"pk":32350,"title":"An Architectural Account of Errors in Foreign Languange Learning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"It has often been observed among teachers of English as a foreign language that the English article system is difficult for learners to master. This paper provides a processing account which pinpoints the source of these errors as being within the learner's architecture for production. We illustrate our account with a computational model of one group of foreign language learners embedded within NL-Soar. The model's control structure and learning mechanism are used to explain the architectural character of errors and to predict the conditions required for overcoming them.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Long Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3vq0q6zf","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Julie","middle_name":"","last_name":"VanDyke","name_suffix":"","institution":"NASA Ames Research Center","department":""},{"first_name":"Jill","middle_name":"Fain","last_name":"Lehman","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology, Hamilton College","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/32350/galley/23415/download/"}]}
