  1. The bottleneck may be the solution, not the problem.Arnon Lotem, Oren Kolodny, Joseph Y. Halpern, Luca Onnis & Shimon Edelman - 2016 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 39:e83.
    As a highly consequential biological trait, a memory “bottleneck” cannot escape selection pressures. It must therefore co-evolve with other cognitive mechanisms rather than act as an independent constraint. Recent theory and an implemented model of language acquisition suggest that a limit on working memory may evolve to help learning. Furthermore, it need not hamper the use of language for communication.

  • Squeezing through the Now-or-Never bottleneck: Reconnecting language processing, acquisition, change, and structure.Nick Chater & Morten H. Christiansen - 2016 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 39:e91.
    If human language must be squeezed through a narrow cognitive bottleneck, what are the implications for language processing, acquisition, change, and structure? In our target article, we suggested that the implications are far-reaching and form the basis of an integrated account of many apparently unconnected aspects of language and language processing, as well as suggesting revision of many existing theoretical accounts. With some exceptions, commentators were generally supportive both of the existence of the bottleneck and its potential implications. Many commentators (...)

  • Grammatical Constructions as Relational Categories.Micah B. Goldwater - 2017 - Topics in Cognitive Science 9 (3):776-799.
    This paper argues that grammatical constructions, specifically argument structure constructions that determine the “who did what to whom” part of sentence meaning and how this meaning is expressed syntactically, can be considered a kind of relational category. That is, grammatical constructions are represented as the abstraction of the syntactic and semantic relations of the exemplar utterances that are expressed in that construction, and it enables the generation of novel exemplars. To support this argument, I review evidence that there are parallel (...)

  • (1 other version)The Concept of Recursion in Cognitive Studies. Part I: From Mathematics to Cognition.И. Ф Михайлов - 2024 - Philosophical Problems of IT and Cyberspace (PhilIT&C) 1:58-76.
    The paper discusses different approaches to the concept of recursion and its evolution from mathematics to cognitive studies. Such approaches are observed as: self‑embedded structures, multiple hierarchical levels using the same rule, and embedding structures within structures. The paper also discusses the concept of meta‑recursion. Examining meta‑recursion may enable understanding of the ability to apply recursive processes to multilayered hierarchies, with recursive procedures acting as generators. These types of recursive processes could be the fundamental elements of general cognition. The paper (...)
