Generalization in Artificial Language Learning: Modelling the Propensity to Generalize
Experiments in Artificial Language Learning have revealed much about the ability of human adults to generalize to novel grammatical instances (i.e., instances consistent with a familiarization pattern). Notably, generalization appears to be negatively correlated with the amount of exposure to the artificial language, a fact that has been claimed to be contrary to the predictions of a statistica...
متن کاملLanguage exposure benefit to talker learning in an unfamiliar language
Recent research shows that exposure to an unfamiliar language is sufficient in improving talker learning. Here, we further investigated the nature of this effect by exploring individual differences and methodological issues. Two groups of Englishmonolingual adults were recruited: one with regular exposure to French (Montréal), and the other without (Storrs). Both groups learned the voices of En...
متن کاملwillingness to communicate in the iranian context: language learning orientation and social support
why some learners are willing to communicate in english, concurrently others are not, has been an intensive investigation in l2 education. willingness to communicate (wtc) proposed as initiating to communicate while given a choice has recently played a crucial role in l2 learning. it was hypothesized that wtc would be associated with language learning orientations (llos) as well as social suppo...
The Role of Prior Learning in Biasing Generalization in Artificial Language Learning
Because unbiased learners are unlikely to arrive at the appropriate generalizations of their language (Gold, 1967), accounts of acquisition must examine the nature of learning biases. One form of bias is learners’ prior learning experience. Adult participants familiarized with a category-induction language learned a language with the same underlying structure but novel vocabulary much more rapi...
متن کاملGeneralization to Novel Consonants in Artificial Grammar Learning
While theoretical phonologists rely on abstract phonetic features to account for the variety of phonological patterns that exist in the world’s languages, it is unclear whether such abstract representations bear psychological reality. Previous research has shown that learners in artificial grammar learning experiments are able to generalize a newly learned phonological pattern to novel segments...
