Abstract
As an important step towards creating a biologically-inspired model of
language learning in the human brain, we have created an external
environment in which to embody such a model. It is our hope that the
learning in such a model will be enhanced and accelerated by the
grounding effects that such an environment can provide. The
environment can be easily configured to approximate common tabletop
testing environments used in clinical studies of human aphasia
patients, which will allow us to draw parallels between said studies
and similar computational experiments to be conducted by artificially
lesioning our language-learning brain model. This document describes
the capabilities and programming interfaces of the external
environment and how a computational agent might interact with it.
