| summary | I will present a collection of results from the visual lexical decision task that indicate that information theoretical measures are a useful descriptive tool to investigate the effects of semantic and morphological
neighborhoods in word recognition.
I will continue by introducing the Bayesian Information Theoretical (BIT) model of lexical processing.
This model is intended to provide a bridge between the above mentioned effects on lexical decision, and the
underlying properties of neural assemblies representing words and morphemes. The model demonstrates how the information theoretical measures of lexical neighborhoods can be directly related to the properties of the neural
assemblies that represent those words. This link is addressed by a combination of tools taken from information
theory, Bayesian inference, and computational linguistics.
Finally, I will outline the basis of my future research, exploring the implications of the BIT model for
EEG and fMRI experiments, detailing the research that I will be developing at the LPC. |
