Models of how learners process input and sentences when acquiring a language or learning to read, including input processing, the competition model, the interface position on implicit and explicit knowledge, and the cognitive clarity theory of learning to read. A model belongs here when the cited article defines it as an account of language acquisition or processing. It excludes general conditioning and memory theories. These models are used in teacher training and in research on how learners connect forms and meanings.
