{ "pk": 33290, "title": "Modelling Functional Priming and the Associative Boost", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Using an auditory semantic priming paradigm. Moss, Ostrin, Tyler and Marslen-Wiison (1995, Experiment 2) demonstrated facilitation for category coordinates and functionally-related stimuli both with and without the additive effect of normative association strength. In this paper we replicate these results computationally using a corpus-derived Contextual Similarity measure. In Experiment 1 we consider the adequacy of the Contextual Similarity measure in accounting for Moss et al.'s results, and discuss how fiinctional and categorical semantic relations are represented in corpus-based approaches to lexical semantics. We also offer an explanation for how the Contextual Similarity measure succeeds in replicating the additive effect of association strength on semantic priming without postulating a qualitatively different mechanism for associative priming. We then investigate why previous corpus-based approaches (Lund, Burgess & Atchley, 1995) have failed to produce similar results. We argue that this is because vector representations partly encode temporal co-occurrence information. This explanation is tested in Experiment 2.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Long Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/32x3c5kd", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Scott", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "McDonald", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Centre for Cognitive Science, University of Edinburgh", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Will", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Lowe", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Centre for Cognitive Science, University of Edinburgh", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1998-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33290/galley/24350/download/" } ] }
