Structural Generalization of Modification in Adult Learners of an Artificial Language

2024-05-22

Abstract excerpt

<p>Compositional generalization that requires production and comprehension of novel _structures_ through observed constituent parts has been shown to be challenging for even very powerful neural network models of language. However, one of the test cases that poses the greatest difficulty---generalization of modifiers to unobserved syntactic positions---has not been empirically attested in human learners under the...
