Syntax as a Cognitive Process: Left-Corner Parsing with Visual and Motor Interfaces

Abstract

In the previous chapters, we introduced and used several ACT-R modules and buffers: the declarative memory module and the associated retrieval buffer, the procedural memory module and the associated goal buffer, and the imaginal buffer. These are core ACT-R modules, but focusing exclusively on them leads to solipsistic models that do not interact in any way with the environment.
