The role of computational models in neuropsychological investigations of language: reply to Ruml and Caramazza (2000)

Psychol Rev. 2000 Jul;107(3):635-45. doi: 10.1037/0033-295x.107.3.635.

Abstract

W. Ruml and A. Caramazza's (2000) analysis of the model of normal and aphasic lexical access proposed by G. S. Dell, M. F. Schwartz, N. Martin, E. M. Saffran, and D. A. Gagnon (1997) is completely at odds with current practice concerning the use of models in psychology. An evaluation of Dell et al.'s original claims using Ruml and Caramazza's model parameters sustains these claims in all respects.
