Modeling the Mind Computationally: Motivating Cognitive Science
Lecture 1 CSE 140 - Intro to Cognitive Science 2
“Verb Clusters” in English
1. John was being watched
2. John had been watched
3. John was watching
4. John could have watched
5. John could have been watched
BUT NOT
5. John could been watching
6. John could watched
7. John was could watched
How can we account for this range of facts???
Lecture 1 CSE 140 - Intro to Cognitive Science 3
A Generator for Verb Clusters
-Tense (could+) (have+-en) (be+-ing) (be+-en) V
1 2 3 4 • “( )” Indicates optional elements, so only -Tense and V are
required• Each optional pair consists of (verb auxiliary + affix)
To Use:1. Pick a tense from (-present, -past).
2. Pick a verb
3. Include optional elements at will
4. Skip all affixes over the next verb or auxiliary
5. Use “spelling” rules
Lecture 1 CSE 140 - Intro to Cognitive Science 4
Using the generator, steps 1-3:
-Tense (could+) (have+-en) (be+-ing) (be+-en) V
1 2 3 4
1. Pick tense -past
2. Pick verb “see”
3. Include, say, 2 only:
-past (could+) (have+-en) (be+-ing) (be+-en) see
1 2 3 4
Lecture 1 CSE 140 - Intro to Cognitive Science 5
Using the generator, step 4:
-past (could+) (have+-en) (be+-ing) (be+-en) see -past have+-en see
4. Skip affixes
-past have+-en see
-past have+ see-en
have-past see-en
Lecture 1 CSE 140 - Intro to Cognitive Science 6
Using the generator, step 5:
have-past see-en
5. Use spelling rules: have-past -> had see-en -> seen
have-past see-en -> had seen
Lecture 1 CSE 140 - Intro to Cognitive Science 7
Example 2: Tense: -pres, Verb: see, Options 2, 4 -Tense (could+) (have+-en) (be+-ing) (be+-en) V
1 2 3 4
1. -pres have+-en be+-en see
2. -pres have+-en be+ see-en
3. -pres have+ be-en see-en
4. have-pres be-en see-en
Lecture 1 CSE 140 - Intro to Cognitive Science 8
Other Examples?
-Tense (could+) (have+-en) (be+-ing) (be+-en) V
1 2 3 4
To Use:1. Pick a tense from (-present, -past).
2. Pick a verb
3. Include optional elements at will
4. Skip all affixes over the next verb or auxiliary
5. Use “spelling” rules

Analyzing Pronouns Can be Difficult
1. Today was Jack’s birthday.
2. Penny and Janet went to the store
3. They were going to get him a present.
4. Jane decided to get a top.
5. “Don’t do that” said Penny.
6. “Jack has a top.
7. He will make you take it back.”

Towards a Theory of Reference
1. Word processing makes typing easy.
2. Make a typo?
3. No problem.
4. Just back up, type over the mistake, and it’s gone.
5. And it eliminates retyping.
6. Need a second draft?
7. No problem.
8. Just change the first and you’ve got the second.

Pronouns and “Stacks”
Word processing makes typing easy. Make a typo?
No problem.
Just back up, type over the mistake, and it’s gone.
And it eliminates retyping.
Need a second draft?

H&P experiment I
T160 On lesson four,
T139 you made fifteen errors. F.96
T124 That’s not too good. F.96
T112 What a shame! F.87
T160 Today we don’t have time for you to repeat this lesson. F.96
T139 Can you come back tomorrow?
It’s a shame that you made 15 errors.

How do pronouns work: Theory 1
1. They were going to get him a present.
2. Penny and Janet were going to get Jack a present.
3. The plumber I spoke to said he wanted to do it.
4. The plumber I spoke to said the plumber I spoke to wanted to do it.

6. The candidates who got the media coverage the candidates who got the media coverage they wanted wanted were happy.
7. The candidates who got the media coverage the candidates who got the media coverage the candidates who got the media coverage they wanted wanted wanted were happy.
