Precategorical Acoustic Storage and the Perception of Speech
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Frankish, Clive – Journal of Memory and Language, 2008
Theoretical accounts of both speech perception and of short term memory must consider the extent to which perceptual representations of speech sounds might survive in relatively unprocessed form. This paper describes a novel version of the serial recall task that can be used to explore this area of shared interest. In immediate recall of digit…

A Case-Series Test of the Interactive Two-Step Model of Lexical Access: Predicting Word Repetition from Picture Naming
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dell, Gary S.; Martin, Nadine; Schwartz, Myrna F. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2007
Lexical access in language production, and particularly pathologies of lexical access, are often investigated by examining errors in picture naming and word repetition. In this article, we test a computational approach to lexical access, the two-step interactive model, by examining whether the model can quantitatively predict the repetition-error…

Syntactic Priming in Young Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Huttenlocher, Janellen; Vasilyeva, Marina; Shimpi, Priya – Journal of Memory and Language, 2004
This paper presents three experiments which show syntactic priming effects in four- and five-year-old children. The experiments are modeled after priming studies with adults involving transitive and dative constructions. In Study 1 children were presented with a picture that was described by an experimenter. They repeated the experimenter's…

Szekely, Anna; Jacobsen, Thomas; D'Amico, Simona; Devescovi, Antonella; Andonoa, Elena; Herron, Daniel; Lu, Ching Ching; Pechmann, Thomas; Pleh, Csaba; Wicha, Nicole; Federmeier, Kara; Gerdjikova, Irina; Gutierrez, Gabriel; Hung, Daisy, Hsu, Jeanne; Iyer, Gowri; Kohnert, Kathryn; Mehotcheva, Teodora; Orozco-Figueroa, Araceli; Tzeng, Angela; Tzeng, Ovid; Arevalo, Analia; Vargha, Andras; Butler, Andrew C.; Buffington, Robert; Bates, Elizabeth – Journal of Memory and Language, 2004
Picture naming is a widely used technique in psycholinguistic studies. Here, we describe new on-line resources that our project has compiled and made available to researchers on the world wide web at http://crl.ucsd.edu/~aszekely/ipnp/. The website provides access to a wide range of picture stimuli and related norms in seven languages. Picture…

Phonological Activation of Ignored Pictures: Further Evidence for a Cascade Model of Lexical Access
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Navarrete, Eduardo; Costa, Albert – Journal of Memory and Language, 2005
Four experiments are reported exploring whether distractor pictures activate their phonological properties in the course of speech production. In Experiment 1, participants were presented with two pictures and were asked to name one while ignoring the other. Distractor pictures were phonologically related, semantically related or unrelated to the…

Preference and Processing: The Role of Speech Affect in Early Spoken Word Recognition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Singh, Leher; Morgan, James L.; White, Katherine S. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2004
Infants prefer to listen to happy speech. To assess influences of speech affect on early lexical processing, 7.5- and 10.5-month-old infants were familiarized with one word spoken with happy affect and another with neutral affect and then tested on recognition of these words in fluent passages. Infants heard all passages either with happy affect…
