Memory and the syntagmatic-paradigmatic shift: A developmental study of priming effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relationship of the syntagmatic-paradigmatic shift to recall was examined in college-aged adults and young children. Forced experience (priming) with taxonomic or functional modes of categorization produced modest effects on children's recall and powerful effects on their style of recall, as measured by taxonomic and functional intrusions. No comparable effects were observed with adults, demonstrating a developmental inequivalency based on experience with different conceptual modes. Phenomena associated with the syntagmatic-paradigmatic shift are thus shown to result from differences of experience between age groups, rather than from endogenous developmental differences.

Structural Priming in Sentence Comprehension
This study examines structural priming in an on-line reading task that compares reading performance by first and second language readers of English. Robust effects for priming were evident for the second, but not first, language readers, suggesting that priming may occur where there are insufficient sentence traces in memory to support sentence interpretation. The empirical results are simulate...
متن کاملAfter braking comes hasting: reversed effects of indirect associations in 2nd and 4th graders
The Associative Read-Out Model (AROM) suggests that associations between words can be defined by the log likelihood that they occur together more often in sentences than predicted by their single-word frequency. Moreover, semantic relations can be defined by associative spreading across many common associates. Here, we addressed developmental effects of associative and semantic priming. Thus, w...
متن کاملCorrespondence of Syntagmatic and Paradigmatic Axes Relations, and Their Transformation in Relation to the Communicative Role of Shahnameh Illustration in Shiraz School of Miniature
When treated like texts with their own visual language, illustrations from the Shiraz School of miniature are a mixture of the syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations of signs. Syntagmatic relations reveal the different ways the elements of a text are connected, while paradigmatic relations identify the sets of signifiers that signify the content of the text, dealing with intratextual and intert...
متن کاملContrasting Syntagmatic and Paradigmatic Relations: Insights from Distributional Semantic Models
This paper presents a large-scale evaluation of bag-of-words distributional models on two datasets from priming experiments involving syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations. We interpret the variation in performance achieved by different settings of the model parameters as an indication of which aspects of distributional patterns characterize these types of relations. Contrary to what has been ...
متن کاملThe Syntagmatic Paradigmatic Model: A distributed instance-based model of sentence processing
The Syntagmatic Paradigmatic (SP) model is a distributed, instance-based account of sentence processing. Built on the Minerva II model of episodic memory (Hintzman 1988), it characterizes sentence processing as the retrieval of sets of associative constraints from long-term memory and the resolution of these constraints in working memory. In common with connectionist approaches, the SP model pr...
