Marian Marchal; Merel C. J. Scholman; Vera Demberg – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Linguistic phenomena (e.g., words and syntactic structure) co-occur with a wide variety of meanings. These systematic correlations can help readers to interpret a text and create predictions about upcoming material. However, to what extent these correlations influence discourse processing is still unknown. We address this question by examining…

Cynthia S. Q. Siew; Nichol Castro – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Network analyses of the phonological mental lexicon show that words are clustered into communities and phonologically dissimilar words can be connected to each other through distant paths. Here we investigate whether behavioral traces of the large-scale structure of the phonological lexicon can be obtained. Participants listened to pairs of spoken…

Brown, Violet A.; Fox, Neal P.; Strand, Julia F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Listeners make use of contextual cues during continuous speech processing that help overcome the limitations of the acoustic input. These semantic, grammatical, and pragmatic cues facilitate prediction of upcoming words and/or reduce the lexical search space by inhibiting activation of contextually inappropriate words that share phonological…

Antony, James W.; Bennion, Kelly A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Semantic similarity between stimuli can lead to false memories and can also potentially cause retroactive interference (RI) for veridical memories. Here, participants first learned spatial locations for "critical" words that reliably produce false memories in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm. Next, participants centrally viewed…

Halamish, Vered; Undorf, Monika – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Research has observed that monitoring one's own learning modifies memory for some materials but not for others. Specifically, making judgments of learning (JOLs) while learning word pairs improves subsequent cued-recall memory performance for related word pairs but not for unrelated word pairs. Theories that have attempted to explain this pattern…

Shukla, Vishakha; Long, Madeleine; Bhatia, Vrinda; Rubio-Fernandez, Paula – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
While most research on scalar implicature has focused on the lexical scale "some" vs "all," here we investigated an understudied scale formed by two syntactic constructions: categorizations (e.g., "Wilma is a nurse") and comparisons ("Wilma is like a nurse"). An experimental study by Rubio-Fernandez et al.…

Taikh, Alexander; Lupker, Stephen J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Considerable research effort has been devoted to investigating semantic priming effects, particularly, the locus of those effects. Semantically related primes might activate their target's lexical representation (through automatic spreading activation at short stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs), or through generation of words expected to follow…

Morett, Laura M.; Fraundorf, Scott H.; McPartland, James C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Cues to prominence such as beat gesture and contrastive pitch accent play an important role in constraining what is remembered. However, it is currently unclear how beat gesture affects online discourse processing alone and in combination with contrastive accenting. Using an adaptation of the visual world eye-tracking paradigm, we orthogonally…

Bovolenta, Giulia; Husband, E. Matthew – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Prediction in language comprehension has become a key mechanism in recent psycholinguistic theory, with evidence from lexical prediction as a primary source. Less work has focused on whether comprehenders also make structural predictions above the lexical level. Previous research shows that processing is facilitated for syntactic structures which…

Dempsey, Jack; Liu, Qiawen; Christianson, Kiel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Previous work has ostensibly shown that readers rapidly adapt to less predictable ambiguity resolutions after repeated exposure to unbalanced statistical input (e.g., a high number of reduced relative-clause garden-path sentences), and that these readers grow to disfavor the a priori more frequent (e.g. main verb) resolution after exposure (Fine,…

Fournet, Colas; Mirault, Jonathan; Perea, Manuel; Grainger, Jonathan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
In four experiments, we investigated the impact of letter case (lower case vs. UPPER CASE) on the processing of sequences of written words. Experiment 1 used the rapid parallel visual presentation (RPVP) paradigm with postcued identification of one word in a five-word sequence. The sequence could be grammatically correct (e.g., "the boy likes…

Bhatia, Sudeep – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
This article examines how semantic memory processes influence the items that are considered by decision makers in memory-based preferential choice. Experiments 1A through 1C ask participants to list the choice items that come to their minds while deliberating in a variety of everyday choice settings. These experiments use semantic space models to…

Meinhardt, Martin J.; Bell, Raoul; Buchner, Axel; Röer, Jan P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
A large body of evidence shows an animacy effect on memory in that animate entities are better remembered than inanimate ones. Yet, the reason for this mnemonic prioritization remains unclear. In the survival processing literature, the assumption that richness of encoding is responsible for adaptive memory benefits has received substantial…

Emmorey, Karen; Li, Chuchu; Petrich, Jennifer; Gollan, Tamar H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
When spoken language (unimodal) bilinguals switch between languages, they must simultaneously inhibit 1 language and activate the other language. Because American Sign Language (ASL)-English (bimodal) bilinguals can switch into and out of code-blends (simultaneous production of a sign and a word), we can tease apart the cost of inhibition (turning…

Cutter, Michael G.; Martin, Andrea E.; Sturt, Patrick – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
We investigated whether readers use the low-level cue of proper noun capitalization in the parafovea to infer syntactic category, and whether this results in an early update of the representation of a sentence's syntactic structure. Participants read sentences containing either a subject relative or object relative clause, in which the relative…
