Friesen, Deanna C.; Ward, Olivia; Bohnet, Jessica; Cormier, Pierre; Jared, Debra – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
The current study investigated whether shared phonology across languages activates cross-language meaning when reading in context. Eighty-five bilinguals read English sentences while their eye movements were tracked. Critical sentences contained English members of English-French interlingual homophone pairs (e.g., "mow"; French homophone…

Jared, Debra; Jouravlev, Olessia; Joanisse, Marc F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Decomposition theories of morphological processing in visual word recognition posit an early morpho-orthographic parser that is blind to semantic information, whereas parallel distributed processing (PDP) theories assume that the transparency of orthographic-semantic relationships influences processing from the beginning. To test these…

Jared, Debra; Ashby, Jane; Agauas, Stephen J.; Levy, Betty Ann – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Three experiments examined the role of phonology in the activation of word meanings in Grade 5 students. In Experiment 1, homophone and spelling control errors were embedded in a story context and participants performed a proofreading task as they read for meaning. For both good and poor readers, more homophone errors went undetected than spelling…

Hino, Yasushi; Kusunose, Yuu; Lupker, Stephen J.; Jared, Debra – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Studies using the lexical decision task with English stimuli have demonstrated that homophones are responded to more slowly than nonhomophonic controls. In contrast, several studies using Chinese stimuli have shown that homophones are responded to more rapidly than nonhomophonic controls. In an attempt to better understand the impact of homophony,…

Friesen, Deanna C.; Jared, Debra – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2012
The study investigated phonological processing in bilingual reading for meaning. English-French and French-English bilinguals performed a category verification task in either their first or second language. Interlingual homophones (words that share phonology across languages but not orthography or meaning) and single language control words served…

Haigh, Corinne A.; Jared, Debra – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2007
These experiments investigated whether bilinguals activate phonological representations from both of their languages when reading silently in one. The critical stimuli were interlingual homophones (e.g., sank in English and cinq in French). French-English and English-French bilinguals completed an English lexical decision task. Decisions made by…
