Parafoveal Processing of Transposed-Letter Words and Nonwords: Evidence against Parafoveal Lexical Activation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Johnson, Rebecca L.; Dunne, Maxine D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
The current experiments explored the parafoveal processing of transposed-letter (TL) neighbors by using an eye-movement-contingent boundary change paradigm. In Experiment 1 readers received a parafoveal preview of a target word (e.g., "calm") that was either (1) identical to the target word ("calm"), (2) a TL-neighbor ("clam"), or (3) a…

Reading Aloud: Evidence for Contextual Control over Lexical Activation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Ferguson, Roy; Robidoux, Serje; Besner, Derek – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Can readers exert control (albeit unconsciously) over activation at particular loci in the reading system? The authors addressed this issue in 4 experiments in which participants read target words aloud and the factors of prime-target relation (semantic, repetition), context (related, unrelated), stimulus quality (bright, dim), and relatedness…
