A Connectionist account of Spanish determiner production
Nix, A.; Messer, D.J.; Davey, N.; Smith, Pamela (Springer Nature, 1998)A Connectionist Network that models the production of simple phonologically coded Spanish Noun Phrases is described. The training data uses type/token frequencies taken directly from a Spanish child's linguistic environment. ... -
A connectionist model of Spanish determiner production
Smith, Pamela; Nix, A.; Davey, N.; Lopez Ornat, S.; Messer, D.J. (2003) -
Connectionist modelling of skill development : object balancing in young children
Peters, L.; Davey, N.; Smith, Pamela; Messer, D.J. (Universal Press, 2000) -
How the constraints on English compound production might be learnt from the linguistic input : evidence from 4 connectionist models
Hayes, J.; Murphy, V.; Davey, N.; Smith, Pamela (2003)Native English speakers include irregular plurals in English noun-noun compounds (e.g. mice chaser) more frequently than regular plurals (e.g. *rats chaser) (Gordon, 1985). This dissociation in inflectional morphology has ... -
Input driven constraints on plurals in English noun-noun compounds
Hayes, J.; Murphy, V.; Davey, N.; Smith, Pamela (2003)Native English speakers include irregular plurals in English noun-noun compounds (e.g. mice chaser) more frequently than regular plurals (e.g. *rats chaser) (Gordon, 1985). This dissociation in inflectional morphology has ... -
An investigation into Karmilov-Smith's RR model : the effects of structured tuition
Peters, L.; Davey, N.; Messer, D.J.; Smith, Pamela (1999)Karmiloff-Smith's model of representational redescription describes development proceeding from implicit to explicit knowledge. During part of this process, knowledge is said to be resistant to external influences. However, ... -
Modality effects in compounding with English inflectional morphology
Smith, Pamela; Murphy, V.; Hayes, Jennifer A. (2005)The treatment of plural morphemes in English noun-noun compounds is significant because it provides a test case for competing theories of language acquisition and representation. Even when the first noun in a compound ... -
Plural morphology in compounding is not good evidence to support the dual mechanism model
Hayes, J.; Murphy, V.; Peters, L.; Smith, Pamela; Davey, N. (2001)The compounding phenomena is considered to be good evidence to support the dual mechanism model of morphological processing (Pinker & Prince, 1992). However evidence from initial neural net modeling has shown that a single ... -
A reward driven connectionist model of cognitive development
Peters, L.; Davey, N.; Smith, Pamela; Messer, D.J. (1999)Children learn many skills under self-supervision where exemplars of target responses are not available. Connectionist models which rely on supervised learning are therefore not appropriate for modelling all forms of ... -
Why will rat's go where rats will not
Hayes, J.; Murphy, V.; Davey, N.; Smith, Pamela; Peters, L. (2002)Experimental evidence indicates that regular plurals are nearly always omitted from English compounds (e.g., rats-eater) while irregular plurals may be included within these structures (e.g., mice-chaser). This phenomenon ...
