--- abstract: 'This paper presents an Artificial Life and Neural Network (ALNN) model for the evolution of syntax. The simulation methodology provides a unifying approach for the study of the evolution of language and its interaction with other behavioral and neural factors. The model uses an object manipulation task to simulate the evolution of language based on a simple verb-noun rule. The analyses of results focus on the interaction between language and other non-linguistic abilities, and on the neural control of linguistic abilities. The model shows that the beneficial effects of language on non-linguistic behavior are explained by the emergence of distinct internal representation patterns for the processing of verbs and nouns.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: August 2001 conference: 23rd Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society confloc: Edinburgh contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Cangelosi given: Angelo honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Parisi given: Domenico honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2001 date_type: published datestamp: 2002-01-11 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/20/20 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Moore given: JD honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Stenning given: K honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 2020 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/2020/3/cangelosi%2Dparisi%2Dcogsci2001.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'neural networks, artificial life, langauge evolution, verbs, nouns' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:54:52 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 170-175 pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: LEA refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:42:27 subjects: - comp-sci-art-intel - comp-sci-neural-nets - evol-psy - neuro-ling - psy-ling succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: How nouns and verbs differentially affect the behavior of artificial organisms type: confposter userid: 24 volume: ~
