“…The approach has provided insights into developmental psychology (e.g., Landauer & Dumais, 1997;Hu et al, 2003;Monaghan et al, 2005), psycholinguistics (e.g., Lowe & McDonald, 2000;Lund & Burgess, 1996), neuropsychology (e.g., Conley, Burgess, & Glosser, 2001), as well as more technological applications that may have potential relevance to psychology, such as information retrieval (Deerwester et al, 1990) and word sense disambiguation/synonymy recognition (e.g., Burgess, 2001;Schütze, 1998;Turney, 2001). The models for all these domains depend upon an empiricist perspective of inducing linguistic generalities from language input.…”
