Sharpening ockham's razor
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (1):40-41 (1999)
| Abstract | Language production and comprehension are intimately interrelated; and models of production and comprehension should, we argue, be constrained by common architectural guidelines. Levelt et al.'s target article adopts as guiding principle Ockham's razor: the best model of production is the simplest one. We recommend adoption of the same principle in comprehension, with consequent simplification of some well-known types of models. | |||||||||
