Simplified overview of the Coordinated Interplay Account (CIA) and its relation to a connectionist model (CIANet), Mayberry et al. (2009). Bright blue font: the CIA could be combined with different kinds of symbolic representations (these would be plugged in at step i as linguistic and world knowledge). Pink font: The account can be related to – and complemented by – predictions resulting from computational models. In addition to contrasting representations, one could keep these constant, and instead compare distinct mechanisms like simulation and verification (not depicted).
