A Computational Cognitive Model of Syntactic Priming
Open accessAbstract
The psycholinguistic literature has identified two syntactic adaptation effects in language production: rapidly decaying short‐term priming and long‐lasting adaptation. To explain both effects, we present an ACT‐R model of syntactic priming based on a wide‐coverage, lexicalized syntactic theory that explains priming as facilitation of lexical access. In this model, two well‐established ACT‐R mechanisms, base‐level learning and spreading activation, account for long‐term adaptation and short‐term priming, respectively. Our model simulates incremental language production and in a series of modeling studies, we show that it accounts for (a) the inverse frequency interaction; (b) the absence of a decay in long‐term priming; and (c) the cumulativity of long‐term adaptation. The model also explains the lexical boost effect and the fact that it only applies to short‐term priming. We also present corpus data that verify a prediction of the model, that is, that the lexical boost affects all lexical material, rather than just heads.

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.
