Competence-Performance Models for Lexical Access and Syntactic Parsing
Adrian Brașoveanu, Jakub Dotlačil · Language, cognition and mind · 2020
In Chap. 4, we introduced a simple lexical decision task and a simple left-corner parser. The models we introduced in that chapter might be sufficient with respect to the way they simulate interactions with the environment, but they are too simplistic in their assumptions about memory, since memory retrievals are not dependent on any parameters of the retrieved word. In this chapter, we will improve on both models by incorporating the ACT-R model of declarative memory we just introduced in the previous chapter.
