In the citing paper
“One key feature of many models of visual word recognition, including the BIAM, is that there is a single type of sublexical orthographic code.”
From A Dual-Route Approach to Orthographic Processing (2011) · cites this paper as McClelland and Rumelhart, 1981
In the citing paper
“Note that the top-down messages can utilize the same recurrent excitatory mechanism that has been proposed for implementing biased competition for attentional selection. 10 -12”
From Hierarchical Bayesian inference in the visual cortex (2003) · cites this paper as [12]
In the citing paper
“Both verification and lateral inhibition mechanisms for achieving selection between similar words predict that neighbors will have an inhibitory effect on performance.”
From The effect of orthographic similarity on lexical retrieval: Resolving neighborhood conflicts (1997) · cites this paper as McClelland & Rumelhart, 1981
In the citing paper
“This is particularly evident in models relying on parallel activation mechanisms (see, e.g., McClelland & Rumelhart, 1981), which assume that a set of lexical representations are activated by sensory input.”
From The effect of orthographic similarity on lexical retrieval: Resolving neighborhood conflicts (1997) · cites this paper as McClelland & Rumelhart, 1981

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
