Does Episodic Memory Help Close the Lexical Frequency Gap in Sensitivity to Syntactic Contrasts? A Test Using Retrieval-Augmented Language Models

Grammatical knowledge and how it is empirically tested are typically considered robust to the frequency of the lexical items in the expressions. However, neural network-based models of grammaticality exhibit high sensitivity to lexical frequency. We draw upon Complementary Learning Systems theory to test the hypothesis...
