我们提出了一个关于成人中英双语者基本数字技能认知结构的模型。该模型基于Campbell、Kanz和Xue(1999)报告的数据，并将Dehaene和Cohen的三码理论与Campbell和Clark的编码-复数方法相结合。数字处理。参与者被要求说出、加或乘阿拉伯或普通话数字，并用英文或中文回答。他们还对成对的阿拉伯数字或普通话数字进行了幅度比较。他们在这组任务上的成绩模型假设：1)数字加工相对于表征代码(例如，视觉、视觉空间、语言)是模块化的，而不是关于数字功能；2)表征代码之间的任务特定的交流是交互的，而不是相加的；3)算术事实的记忆至少部分地基于语言，我们的汉英双语者同时拥有汉语和英语的数字事实表征。我们对算术数据进行了新的分析，并回顾了关于语言在简单算术中的作用的研究，以支持我们关于数字事实记忆的语言代码的主张。
We present a model of the cognitive architecture of basic numerical skills in adult Chinese-English bilinguals. The model is based on data reported by Campbell, Kanz, and Xue (1999) and combines Dehaene and Cohen's triple-code theory with Campbell and Clark's encoding-complex approach to modeling. number processing. Participants were required to name, add or multiply Arabic or Mandarin numerals and to respond in English or Chinese. They also performed magnitude comparisons on pairs of Arabic or Mandarin numerals. The proposed model of their performance on this set of tasks assumes 1) that number processing is modular with respect to representational code (e.g., visual, visuo-spatial, verbal) rather than with respect to numerical function, 2) task-specific communication between representational codes is interactive rather than additive, and 3) memory for arithmetic facts is at least partially language-based and our Chinese-English bilinguals possessed both Chinese and English-language number-fact representations. We provide new analyses of the arithmetic data and a review of research on the role of language in simple arithmetic to substantiate our claims about linguistic codes for number-fact memory.
