Effects of Lexicality and Pseudo-Morphological Complexity on Embedded Word Priming
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Grainger, Jonathan; Beyersmann, Elisabeth – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Two masked priming experiments investigated the impact of prime lexicality (word vs. nonword) and the pseudo-morphological structure of prime stimuli (pseudosuffixed vs. nonsuffixed) on embedded word priming effects. In the related prime conditions, target words were embedded at the beginning of prime stimuli and were followed either by a…

Grade of Membership Response Time Model for Detecting Guessing Behaviors
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pokropek, Artur – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2016
A response model that is able to detect guessing behaviors and produce unbiased estimates in low-stake conditions using timing information is proposed. The model is a special case of the grade of membership model in which responses are modeled as partial members of a class that is affected by motivation and a class that responds only according to…

Amenós-Pons, José; Ahern, Aoife; Gujarro-Fuentes, Pedro – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2017
This paper examines the process of acquiring L2s that are closely related to the L1 through data on how adult French speakers learning L2 Spanish in a formal setting develop knowledge and use of past tenses in this L2. We consider the role of transfer and simplification in acquiring mental representations of the L2 grammar, specifically in the…

Interdependency between Risk Assessments for Self and Other in the Field of Comparative Optimism: The Contribution of Response Times
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Spitzenstetter, Florence; Schimchowitsch, Sarah – Psychological Record, 2012
By introducing a response-time measure in the field of comparative optimism, this study was designed to explore how people estimate risk to self and others depending on the evaluation order (self/other or other/self). Our results show the interdependency between self and other answers. Indeed, while response time for risk assessment for the self…

Substituted-Letter and Transposed-Letter Effects in a Masked Priming Paradigm with French Developing Readers and Dyslexics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lete, Bernard; Fayol, Michel – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2013
The aim of the study was to undertake a behavioral investigation of the development of automatic orthographic processing during reading acquisition in French. Following Castles and colleagues' 2007 study ("Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 97," 165-182) and their lexical tuning hypothesis framework, substituted-letter and…

The Effect of Prime Duration in Masked Orthographic Priming Depends on Neighborhood Distribution
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Robert, Christelle; Mathey, Stephanie – Language and Speech, 2012
A lexical decision task was used with a masked priming procedure to investigate whether and to what extent neighborhood distribution influences the effect of prime duration in masked orthographic priming. French word targets had two higher frequency neighbors that were either distributed over two letter positions (e.g., "LOBE/robe-loge")…
