Which limitation is associated with the Cohort model? A) It fails to recognize sounds that have no meaning. B) It cannot process spoken words in loud environments. C) It does not account for context or top-down influence. D) It requires complete words to be effective.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the limitations of the Cohort model, specifically which of the given options identifies a limitation associated with this model in cognitive science or speech perception.
Answer
It does not account for context or top-down influence.
The Cohort model does not account for context or top-down influence.
Answer for screen readers
The Cohort model does not account for context or top-down influence.
More Information
The Cohort model primarily relies on the acoustic information at the beginning of a spoken word to generate a list of possible words ('cohort') and reduces possibilities as more sounds are heard. This process does not utilize contextual information that could help narrow down word options early on.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming the model's limitations are in noisy environments. However, it is the lack of consideration for top-down processing and context that is a significant limitation.
