If language is to have any influence on what we attend to, that influence has to be exerted at a pace that can keep up. In this talk I shall focus on two aspects of this requirement: The speed with which language can mediate visual attention, and the fact that the cognitive system can very efficiently make up for the fact that, to be expedient (i.e. to keep up with the changing world) we do not in fact refer to all the changes that are associated with, or entailed, by an event. Rather, we infer aspects of those changes. One example of this is through elaborative inference, and another is through the manner in which we track (often unstated) changes in the states of objects as those objects undergo change. The talk will conclude with data suggesting that multiple representations of the same object in different event-dependent states may compete with one another, and that this competitive process may bring both costs and benefits.</p><br><br><b><i>Further along the road...</i></b><br><br>2/9 - David Barner:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Default units in language acquisition</i><br>2/16 - Jill Warker:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Tips of the slongue: Using speech errors as a measure of learning</i><br>2/23 - Anne Fernald (Stanford):<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Developing Fluency in Understanding: How it Matters</i><br>3/9 - Chuck Clifton (University of Massachusetts, Amherst):<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Stress Matters: Effects of Anticipated Lexical Stress on Silent Reading<br></i></div></div></blockquote></span></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
