Term
are silent gaps between words good markers of word boundaries?
Definition
no becasue some word boundaries have no gaps as the surrounding phonemes are coarticulated (blended together)
Term
Pre-Lexical models of segmentation
Definition
-use silence as a cue
-rhythm of speech - all langauges have a temporal regularity - supported by Cutler & Norris - word spotting task
Term
Lexical models of segmentation
Definition
-rely on our knowledge of what words sound like (phonological representation) to guide segmentation
Term
parallel activation
Definition
word recognition is constantly evaluated agiast others and doesn't occur at end
Term
cohort-model
Definition
confess- 'cuh' activates canoe, camp
conf activates confess, confuse - uniqueness point where only one possible word
marslen-Wilson et al
Term
TRACE model
Definition
McClelland & Elman
connectionist model 3 levles
-phonetic feature level, phoneme level and word level
Term
TRACE model
Definition
McClelland & Elman
connectionist model 3 levles
-phonetic feature level, phoneme level and word level
Term
IAC model
Definition
Interactive activation and competition model - McClelland and Rumelhart
2 way processing, top down and bottom up

Term
assembled phonology
Definition
phonics - generate a pronumciation based on set of mappings between letters and sounds in your language.
Term
addressed phonology
Definition
relies on stored word pronunciation
Term
Dual route models
Definition
rule based route to pronunciation via phonics and lexical route via addressed phonology
Term
Berko's 'wug' test
Definition
child shown 'wug' asked to pluralise wugs
its possible that common morphemes are stored as separate units but less common as separate representations
Term
How word meanings may be represented
Definition
spreading activation models e.g. canary... is a ...bird & has ..wings
Featural theory of semantic representation - canary -has wings, is bird, can fly
Term
sentence comprehension
Definition
constructive process - uses parsing, syntax
Term
garden path model of parsing
Definition
Frazier
-incremental parsing
-serial and autonomous parsing
Term
constraint based models of parsing
Definition
MacDonald
parallel and interactive - more than 1 potential parse can be considered at same time
no autonomous stage
