--- abstract: |- We present the Bayesian Information-Theoretical (BIT) model of lexical processing: A mathematical model illustrating a novel approach to the modelling of language processes. The model shows how a neurophysiological theory of lexical processing relying on Hebbian association and neural assemblies can directly account for a variety of effects previously observed in behavioural experiments. We develop two information-theoretical measures of the distribution of usages of a morpheme or word, and use them to predict responses in three visual lexical decision datasets investigating inflectional morphology and polysemy. Our model offers a neurophysiological basis for the effects of morpho-semantic neighbourhoods. These results demonstrate how distributed patterns of activation naturally result in the arisal of symbolic structures. We conclude by arguing that the modelling framework exemplified here, is a powerful tool for integrating behavioural and neurophysiological results. altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Moscoso del Prado Martin given: Fermin honourific: Dr lineage: '' - family: Kostic given: Aleksandar honourific: Prof lineage: '' - family: Filipovic-Djurdjevic given: Dusica honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2006-03 date_type: published datestamp: 2006-03-16 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/47/64 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 4764 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/4764/1/version2.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: unpub 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: 'Word assemblies, Bayesian model, Gaussian mixture, Bayesian, Hebbian, Polysemy, Homonymy, Inflectional morphology, Co-occurrence vectors' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:56:21 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: Submitted to Psychological Review number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: FALSE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 17:02:17 subjects: - neuro-ling - comp-sci-stat-model - comp-sci-lang - neuro-mod - ling-comput - comp-neuro-sci - ling-sem - ling-morph - comp-sci-mach-learn - psy-ling - cog-psy - comp-sci-neural-nets - comp-sci-art-intel succeeds: 4754 suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: The Missing Link between Morphemic Assemblies and Behavioral Responses:a Bayesian Information-Theoretical model of lexical processing type: other userid: 6204 volume: ~
