Contributions of memory circuits to language: the declarative/procedural model. (2004, background): “Agrammatics have been shown to have more trouble with regular than irregular morphology, holding constant word frequency, length, and other factors, in both expressive and receptive language tasks (Pinker & Ullman, 2002; Ullman et al., 1997, in press).”
The Acquisition of Anaphora by Simple Recurrent Networks (2013, background): “There has been some work in this connection in the domains of phonology and morphology, most famously the work spawned by Rumelhart and McClelland’s (1986) model of the English past tense (see, for example, Pinker & Prince 1988, Pinker & Ullman 2002, and McClelland & Patterson 2002, for discussion).”
EFFECTS OF FORM-FOCUSED PRACTICE AND FEEDBACK ON CHINESE EFL LEARNERS’ ACQUISITION OF REGULAR AND IRREGULAR PAST TENSE FORMS (2010, background): “On the other hand, researchers such as Pinker (Pinker & Prince, 1994 ; Pinker & Ullman, 2002 ) propose that regular and irregular past tense forms are processed through two distinct channels.”
The nature of the language faculty and its implications for evolution of language (Reply to Fitch, Hauser, and Chomsky) (2005, background): “All the standard arguments for separation of the two mechanisms (Pinker, 1999; Pinker & Ullman, 2002) can be carried over into this interpretation.”
Proficiency and working memory based explanations for nonnative speakers’ sensitivity to agreement in sentence processing (2012, background): “Similarly, Sagarra and Herschensohn (2010) found that the WM scores of their intermediate Spanish L2 learners (assessed in the same manner as in Sagarra, 2007) correlated positively with these L2 learners’ reading times at the critical region of sentences with gender agreement violations and with th”
A computational neuroanatomy for motor control (2008, background): “To better understand the idea of a double dissociation we can consider an example from outside of motor control; the words-and-rules theory from linguistics (Pinker and Ullman 2002).”
Morphologically Complex Words in L1 and L2 Processing: Evidence from Masked Priming Experiments in English. (2008, background): “This account assumes morphologically structured representations for regularly inflected and derived word forms with -ness and -ity and is as such compatible with dual-mechanism models of morphology (e.g. Pinker, 1999; Pinker and Ullman, 2002).”
Specific language impairment is not specific to language: the procedural deficit hypothesis. (2005, positive): “…plag-plagged), with less difficulty producing irregularizations of novel verbs (e.g., crive-crove) (which are posited to depend on lexical memory, Pinker and Ullman, 2002b; Ullman, 2001a ) (Ullman and Gopnik, 1999; van der Lely and Ullman, 2001); and they overregularize past tense forms (e.g.,…”
