The structure of the Sequential Errors is explicated, and rules for describing them are given briefly . The similarity between these errors, and the errors made by an independently constructed cybernetic system, SARF, is shown . The conditions of a correct comparison between SARF behaviour and the language production of aphasic people are examined . Hypotheses are inferred about the functional structure of brain mechanisms responsible for both abnormal and normal integration and seriation of asemantic units in language production; these hypotheses have led to new evidence at other levels of language.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/62","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/0062.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/62.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/bibtex/62","volume":{"slug":"1969","title":"Proceedings of the First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1969","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/","year":1969,"location":"Washington, DC, USA","dates":"May 7-9, 1969","editors":"Donald E.
