Pragmatic Language Interpretation as Probabilistic Inference. (2016, unknown): “Congruent with this idea, three-year-old children show signs of successful implicature computations in the kinds of signaling games shown in Figure 1, where the referential alternatives are all simple objects that are visible in the scene [73].”
The Naïve Utility Calculus: Computational Principles Underlying Commonsense Psychology. (2016, background): “What are the neural mechanisms that support the naïve utility calculus? Are the brain regions implicated in representing values and costs in decision-making also involved in reasoning about others’ costs and rewards? Are they complemented by other neural circuitries that support reasoning about othe”
Inferring word meanings by assuming that speakers are informative (2014, unknown): “And some evidence indicates that preschoolers can make other kinds of pragmatic inferences slightly earlier (Kurumada, 2013; Stiller et al., 2014), though none as early as the “pragmatic word learning” findings summarized above.”
