Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Morphology plays a critical role in effectively using and understanding a language. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors that contribute to the success with which individuals are able to learn morphological regularities. This study explores the potential role of prior knowledge in learning derivational morphemes in an artificial language. Consistent with the Complementary Learning Systems theory, it is hypothesized that native English-speaking participants will demonstrate faster learning and consolidation for morphological regularities that are consistent with morphological structures in English as opposed to morphological regularities that are infrequent in English.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
