“…These results are therefore consistent with linguistic theories that allow structural configurations to be deployed based on relational meaning (e.g. Culicover, 1999;Fillmore, Kay, & O'Connor, 1988;Jackendoff, 2002;Lakoff, 1987;Lambrecht, 1994;Langacker, 1987;Michaelis & Lambrecht, 1996;Sag, 1997;Van Valin & LaPolla, 1997;Wierzbicka, 1988).…”

Can thematic roles leave traces of their places?

An important question in the study of language production is the nature of the semantic information that speakers use to create syntactic structures. A common answer to this question assumes that thematic roles help to mediate the mapping from messages to syntax. However, research using structural priming has suggested that the construction of syntactic frames may be insensitive to variations in thematic roles within messages (Cognition 35 (1990) 1; Psychological Review 99 (1992) 150). Because these studies involved structural alternations whose syntax covaries with the order of thematic roles, it is difficult to assess any independent contribution that role information may make to the positioning of phrases. In this study, we primed the order of the roles without changing the syntactic structure of the sentences produced, and found that the order of the roles was influenced by the priming manipulation. This implies that thematic roles or the features that differentiate them are active within the mapping between messages and sentence structures. q

“…Instead, the implementation of state in the model was based on a very abstract competitive-learning model of state spaces. However, many models of categorization learning have been based on a similar prototype-centered process much like that used here (Ashby & Maddox, 2005;Hertz et al, 1991;Kéri, 2003;Lakoff, 1990). This model can be conceptually translated into standard distributed (neural) models of cortex and hippocampus (Arbib, 1995;Durstewitz, Kelc, & Gunturkun, 1999;Durstewitz, Seamans, & Sejnowski, 2000;Redish, 1999;Rumelhart & McClelland, 1986;Seamans, Gorelova, Durstewitz, & Yang, 2001;Seamans & Yang, 2004).…”

Because learned associations are quickly renewed following extinction, the extinction process must include processes other than unlearning. However, reinforcement learning models, such as the temporal difference reinforcement learning (TDRL) model, treat extinction as an unlearning of associated value and are thus unable to capture renewal. TDRL models are based on the hypothesis that dopamine carries a reward prediction error signal; these models predict reward by driving that reward error to zero. The authors construct a TDRL model that can accommodate extinction and renewal through two simple processes: (a) a TDRL process that learns the value of situation-action pairs and (b) a situation recognition process that categorizes the observed cues into situations. This model has implications for dysfunctional states, including relapse after addiction and problem gambling.

“…By participating in these interlinked custom complexes, an Oriya child's physical embodiment comes to include experiences of purity and pollution. When such children later encounter the intellectual content of the ethics of divinity (e.g., ideas of sacredness, asceticism, and transcendence), their minds and bodies are already prepared to accept these ideas, and their truth feels self-evident (see Lakoff, 1987).…”

“…Participation in custom complexes in this way provides a cultural "front end" for Damasio's (1994) somatic marker hypothesis, and for Lakoff's (1987) embodied cognition. Even though people in all cultures have more or less the same bodies, they have different embodiments, and therefore they end up with different minds.…”

The emotional dog and its rational tail: A social intuitionist approach to moral judgment.

Research on moral judgment has been dominated by rationalist models, in which moral judgment is thought to be caused by moral reasoning. Four reasons are given for considering the hypothesis that moral reasoning does not cause moral judgment; rather, moral reasoning is usually a post-hoc construction, generated after a judgment has been reached. The social intuitionist model is presented as an alternative to rationalist models. The model is a social model in that it de-emphasizes the private reasoning done by individuals, emphasizing instead the importance of social and cultural influences. The model is an intuitionist model in that it states that moral judgment is generally the result of quick, automatic evaluations (intuitions). The model is more consistent than rationalist models with recent findings in social, cultural, evolutionary, and biological psychology, as well as anthropology and primatology.
