Several studies have shown that performance on symbolic number tasks is related to individual differences in arithmetic. However, it is not clear which process is responsible for this association, i.e. fast, automatic processing of symbols per se or access to the underlying non-symbolic representation of the symbols. To dissociate between both options, adult participants performed an audiovisua...

We establish a semantics for building grammars from a modularised specification in which modules are able to delete productions from imported nonterminals. Modules have import lists of nonterminals; some or all of an imported nonterminal’s productions may be suppressed at import time. There are two basic import mechanisms which (a) reference or (b) clone an imported nonterminal’s productions. O...

ABSTRACT Research findings on auditory sequencing and auditory blending and fusion, auditory-visual integration, and.language patterns are presented in support of the Linguistic Auditory Memory Patterns (LAMP) program. LAMP consists of 100 developmental lessons for young students with learning disabilities or language problems. The lessons are included in this document and contain sequential ex...

For creation of an artificial agent that is capable of using language naturally, models that only manipulate symbols or classify speech are ineffective. The semantic information which language conveys must be grounded in the agent’s complete sensorimotor experience. Typically, patterns from visual, auditory, and proprioceptive data streams which share the same conceptual cause are fused togethe...

We present an automatic approach to tree annotation in which basic nonterminal symbols are alternately split and merged to maximize the likelihood of a training treebank. Starting with a simple Xbar grammar, we learn a new grammar whose nonterminals are subsymbols of the original nonterminals. In contrast with previous work, we are able to split various terminals to different degrees, as approp...

Gaze-independent brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are a possible communication channel for persons with paralysis. We investigated if it is possible to use auditory stimuli to create a BCI for the Japanese Hiragana syllabary, which has 46 Hiragana characters. Additionally, we investigated if training has an effect on accuracy despite the high amount of different stimuli involved. Able-bodied pa...
