Analogical inference depends on systematic substitution of the components of compositional structures. Simple systematic substitution has been achieved in a number of connectionist systems that support binding (the ability to create... more
This paper presents a brief, informal outline followed by a formal statement of an elemental associative learning model first described by McLaren, Kaye, and Mackintosh (1989). The model assumes representation of stimuli by sets of... more

Gives the original MKM model which is updated in McLaren and Mackintosh (2000, 2002). It combines a learning algorithm which has strong similarities to Wagner (1978) but has been re-worked to be real-time and incorporate trace decay. The... more
It is often thought that consciousness has a qualitative dimension that cannot be tracked by science. Recently, however, some philosophers have argued that this worry stems not from an elusive feature of the mind, but from the special... more
This paper is intended to elucidate some implications of usage-based linguistic theory for statistical and computational models of language acquisition, focusing on morphology and morphophonology. I discuss the need for grammar (a.k.a.... more
Connectionist models of sentence processing must learn to behave systematically by generalizing from a small training set. To what extent recurrent neural networks manage this generalization task is investigated. In contrast to Van der... more

The Science of Language, published in the sixth decade of Noam Chomsky’s linguistic career, defends views that are visibly out of touch with recent research in formal linguistics, developmental child psychology, computational modeling of... more
By pointing to deep philosophical confusions endemic to cognitive science, Wittgenstein might seem an enemy of computational approaches. We agree (with Mills 1993) that while Wittgenstein would reject the classicist’s symbols and rules... more
Contemporary accounts of the possession conditions for basic logical concepts rely on either the subject being primitively compelled by transitions that are isomorphic to the introduction and elimination rules for the logical constant or... more
A kétnyelvűségre irányuló pszicholingvisztikai kutatások egyik központi problémája a kétnyelvűség kialakulásának kérdése. A korai kétnyelvűség kapcsán alapvetően két elképzelés áll egymással szemben. Az egységes nyelvi rendszer hipotézis... more
There is a vast literature within philosophy of artificial intelligence that focuses on the architecture of cognition, yet hardly touches on epistemological questions. There is also a growing body of work in philosophy of science about... more

Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is a structural system for both modular housing and tall timber building construction that has been used in Europe and Oceania, and now emerges into the United States market. In floor slab applications, the... more
This powerpoint quickly reviews the essential elements of an as-yet unpublished dissertation. Presentation was given at the NJ-TESOL spring conference, 2015 in New Brunswick, NJ.

Theories of how cognitive biases arise rely on heuristics that influence attention and reasoning. These heuristics serve as a post-hoc description of how attention and reasoning is weighted to produce the patterns of deviation in... more
It has been shown that the ability of echo state networks (ESNs) to generalise in a sentence-processing task can be increased by adjusting their input connection weights to the training data. We present a qualitative analysis of the... more
Porous memories fuse and interpenetrate. Fragments of song mingle in hot remembered afternoons, mysterious angers return at a flush with a chance forgotten postcard. Such memories were once the motions of old fluids, animal spirits which... more
The growing field of machine morality has become increasingly concerned with how to develop artificial moral agents. However, there is little consensus on what constitutes an ideal moral agent let alone an artificial one. Leveraging a... more
The authors, on the basis of brief arguments, have dismissed tensor networks as a viable response to Jackendoff’s challenges. However, there are reasons to believe that connectionist approaches descended from tensor networks are... more
Jackendoff (2002) posed four challenges that linguistic combinatoriality and rules of language present to theories of brain function. The essence of these problems is the question of how to neurally instantiate the rapid construction and... more
Several psycholinguistic models represent words as vectors in a high-dimensional state space, such that distances between vectors encode the strengths of paradigmatic relations between the represented words. This chapter argues that such... more

Comprehending a sentence requires the construction of a mental representation of the situation the sentence describes. Many researchers assume that, apart from such a situational representation, there is a level of representation at which... more
