The Effect of Representational Richness on  ;Memory Retrieval During Referential Processing

Language processing necessarily relies on memo ry of the immediate past; previously encoded information needs to be ret rieved to incorporate new information successfully and efficiently. One of the areas in which the role of memory retrieval is prominent is refer ential processing where one or more referential candidates are initially encoded and then are subsequently retrieved when a referring expression (such as a pronoun) is encountered. In this talk, I will report the res ults of three projects investigating whether and how retrieval difficult y affects referential processing. In all projects, we manipulated retrie val difficulty by varying the amount of extra information attached to po tential referents, producing representationally rich (e.g., th e actor who had recently won an Oscar award) and bare (e.g., < /span>the actor) referential candidates. We measured behavi oral responses such as the choice between different forms of referring e xpressions (e.g., pronouns vs. repeated nouns) during language productio n, looking probability in the Visual World as well as Event Relat ed Potentials, and observed that representational richness facilit ates the retrieval of associated memory items. Taken together, the resul ts lend support to cue-based retrieval theories of language processing a ccording to which richer memory representations should be more easily re trievable due to reactivation and/or distinctiveness.
