LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION AS STRUCTURE BUILDING

描述：研究计划是在语言的模型接地 由研究人员开发的理解，结构建筑 框架（SBF），一种定位于一般认知 语言的过程观，即，语言理解能力 一般的认知过程和机制， 配置语言。在这个模型中，语言的目标 理解是建立连贯的心理表征或结构。 涉及三个组成部分的过程：奠定基础，规划新的 信息，和变化的表征。双机制控制 记忆，那些抑制和增强。早期研究 产生了许多关于假定认知的重要发现， 过程和机制。该提案计划进一步发展SBF 通过调查一系列实验问题， 三个过程，两个机制。

DESCRIPTION: The program of research is grounded in a model of language comprehension developed by the investigator, the Structure Building Framework (SBF), a model which is positioned in the general cognitive processes view of language, i.e., that language comprehension draws on general cognitive processes and mechanisms that are not uniquely configured for language. In this model, the goal of language comprehension is to build coherent mental representations or structures. Three component processes are involved: laying a foundation, mapping new information, and shifting representations. Two mechanisms control memory, those of suppression and enhancement. The earlier studies generated a number of important discoveries about the putative cognitive processes and mechanisms. This proposal plans to develop SBF further by investigating a series of experimental questions within each of the three processes and two mechanisms.
