The Influence of Visual Feedback and Register Changes on Sign Language Production: A Kinematic Study with Deaf Signers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Emmorey, Karen; Gertsberg, Nelly; Korpics, Franco; Wright, Charles E. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2009
Speakers monitor their speech output by listening to their own voice. However, signers do not look directly at their hands and cannot see their own face. We investigated the importance of a visual perceptual loop for sign language monitoring by examining whether changes in visual input alter sign production. Deaf signers produced American Sign…

Orthographic and Phonological Effects in the Picture-Word Interference Paradigm: Evidence from a Logographic Language
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bi, Yanchao; Xu, Yaoda; Caramazza, Alfonso – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2009
One important finding with the picture-word interference paradigm is that picture-naming performance is facilitated by the presentation of a distractor (e.g., CAP) formally related to the picture name (e.g., "cat"). In two picture-naming experiments we investigated the nature of such form facilitation effect with Mandarin Chinese, separating the…

Sources of Information for Stress Assignment in Reading Greek
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Protopapas, Athanassios; Gerakaki, Svetlana; Alexandri, Stella – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2007
To assign lexical stress when reading, the Greek reader can potentially rely on lexical information (knowledge of the word), visual-orthographic information (processing of the written diacritic), or a default metrical strategy (penultimate stress pattern). Previous studies with secondary education children have shown strong lexical effects on…

Interhemispheric Learning and Speed of Hemispheric Transmission in Dyslexic and Normal Readers: A Replication of Previous Results and Additional Findings.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vellutino, Frank R.; And Others – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1983
Two studies evaluated the interhemispheric transmission deficit explanation of reading disability by comparing second- and sixth-grade normal and poor readers on learning and discrimination tasks involving hemispheric presentations of visual stimuli. Results suggested verbal processing rather than interhemispheric transmission as a cause of group…

Pseudoword Reading Errors of Poor, Dyslexic, and Normally Achieving Readers on Multisyllable Pseudowords.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tal, Naomi Frankel; Siegel, Linda S. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1996
Analyzed the reading performance of dyslexic, poor, and normally achieving readers on a test of pseudoword reading according to the type of error committed. Findings failed to support the existence of a critical phonological processing difference between IQ reading-discrepant and IQ reading-nondiscrepant disabled readers. (74 references)…

Effects of Age of Acquisition on Grammatical Sensitivity: Evidence from On-Line and Off-Line Tasks.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Emmorey, Karen; And Others – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1995
Using a video sign-monitoring task in American Sign Language, this study investigated the effects of late exposure to a primary language on adult linguistic processing. Native signers were sensitive to errors in both verb agreement and aspect; early and late signers were only sensitive to errors in aspect morphology. Late exposure was found to…
