Grounding spatial language in perception: an empirical and computational investigation. Regier, T. & Carlson, L., A. Journal of experimental psychology. General, 130(2):273-98, 6, 2001. ![Grounding spatial language in perception: an empirical and computational investigation. [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Website abstract bibtex The present paper grounds the linguistic cdategorization of space in aspects of visual perception; specifically, the structure of projective spatial terms such as above are grounded in the process of attention and in vector-sum coding of overall direction. This is formalized in the attentional vector-sum (AVS) model. This computational model accurately predicts linguistic acceptability judgments for spatial terms, under a variety of spatial configurations. In 7 experiments, the predictions of the AVS model are tested against those of 3 competing models. The results support the AVS model and disconfirm its competitors. The authors conclude that the structure of linguistic spatial categories can be partially explained in terms of independently motivated perceptual processes.
