概括

听众经常从杂的句子中推断出含义,特别是在上下文中. 支持性语境增强了这种噪音道推断,使可信的句子解释比不支持的句子更好.

科学领域:

心理语言学心理语言学
认知科学认知科学
计算语言学计算语言学

背景情况:

句子理解必须考虑输入噪音 (例如,错误,听错).
语义上不可思议的句子经常被重新解释为可信的替代方案.
之前的噪音通道理解研究使用了孤立的句子.

研究的目的:

调查支持性与不支持性语境对噪音频道推理的影响.
测试上下文是否鼓励在解释不可思议的句子时推断.

主要方法:

检查了四种句子构造:双对象 (DO) 和主动-被动.
在支持的,不支持的和无效的语境中比较解释不可思议的句子.
专注于推理频繁 (DO) 和罕见 (主动-被动) 的句子类型.

主要成果:

支持性语境显著鼓励对通常引发推断的句子类型的噪音通道推断.
与主动-被动相比,这种效应在双重对象构造中更为明显.
语境影响了不可思议的句子的解释,特别是当推断是常见的.

结论:

噪音通道推断在日常语言处理中比以前认为的更为普遍.
语境在指导杂或难以置信的句子的解释中起着至关重要的作用.
这些发现挑战了基于单独句子研究的假设.

Perceiving Loudness, Pitch, and Location

Perceiving Loudness, Pitch, and Location

The human brain perceives pitch through two primary mechanisms reflected in place theory and frequency theory. Each mechanism describes how sound waves are interpreted as specific pitches by the brain, offering insights into the intricate processes of auditory perception.
Place theory, or place coding, suggests that different pitches are heard because various sound waves activate specific locations along the cochlea's basilar membrane. The brain determines the pitch of a sound by...

Chunking and Rehearsal in Sensory Memory

Chunking and Rehearsal in Sensory Memory

Improving short-term memory can be achieved through techniques like chunking and rehearsal. Chunking involves organizing information into larger, more manageable units. This technique is particularly useful for information that exceeds the typical memory span of between five and nine items. For instance, logging into an online account with a password like "ta89vq0179gz" involves grouping letters and numbers into three chunks—ta89, vq01, and 79gz. It makes large amounts of...

Auditory Perception

Auditory Perception

The auditory system is essential for sound perception, utilizing various critical structures. When sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle ear, where three tiny bones – the malleus, incus, and stapes – amplify the sound. This amplification is crucial, as it ensures that the sound vibrations are strong enough to be conveyed to the inner ear. These vibrations then reach the...

Language and Cognition

Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Factors Affecting Perception

Factors Affecting Perception

Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Components of Language

Components of Language

Language, whether spoken, signed, or written, consists of specific components: lexicon and grammar. The lexicon is the vocabulary of a language, comprising its words. Grammar is the set of rules used to convey meaning through the lexicon. For example, English grammar adds “-ed” to most verbs to indicate past tense. Words are formed by combining phonemes, which are the basic sound units of a language. Different languages have different sets of phonemes (e.g., “ah” vs.
