LANGUAGE AS CUE INTEGRATION %* %< %T Language Processing as Cue Integration: Grounding the Psychology of Language in Perception and Neurophysiology %U https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00120 %V 7 %0 JOURNAL ARTICLE %@ 1664-1078 %X I argue that cue integration, a psychophysiological mechanism from vision and multisensory perception, offers a computational linking hypothesis between psycholinguistic theory and neurobiological models of language. I propose that this mechanism, which incorporates probabilistic estimates of a cue's reliability, might function in language processing from the perception of a phoneme to the comprehension of a phrase structure. I briefly consider the implications of the cue integration hypothesis for an integrated theory of language that includes acquisition, production, dialogue and bilingualism, while grounding the hypothesis in canonical neural computation.
