A long-standing question in cognitive science is whether psycholinguistic evidence can adjudicate among grammatical theories. This question arises in debates over the representation of linguistic dependencies: whether they are mediated by u...

It is natural to express some beliefs in binary terms (P is either believed or not, e.g., "bribery is immoral"), and others in terms of a subjective probability (P has some probability of being true, e.g., "there's an 80% chance a Democrat ...
