Simulation of Human Language Acquisition Process by Brain Like Memory System

The acceleration phenomenon of infant word acquisition cannot be explained by simple neural learning mechanism of brain. To explain it, we applied memory model PATON for word meaning acquisition, and modified the model to include SRN to enable syntax learning. The combination of PATON meaning representation and SRN syntax representation enabled explanation of the syntax based word acquisition acceleration. The computer simulation has shown rapid acquisition of new word within a few presentations.
