McMurray, Bob; Tanenhaus, Michael K.; Aslin, Richard N. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2009
Spoken word recognition shows gradient sensitivity to within-category voice onset time (VOT), as predicted by several current models of spoken word recognition, including TRACE (McClelland, J., & Elman, J. (1986). The TRACE model of speech perception. "Cognitive Psychology," 18, 1-86). It remains unclear, however, whether this sensitivity is…

Burt, Jennifer S. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2009
University students participated in five experiments concerning the effects of unmasked, orthographically similar, primes on visual word recognition in the lexical decision task (LDT) and naming tasks. The modal prime-target stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) was 350 ms. When primes were words that were orthographic neighbors of the targets, and…

Velan, Hadas; Frost, Ram – Journal of Memory and Language, 2009
We examined the effects of letter-transposition in Hebrew in three masked-priming experiments. Hebrew, like English has an alphabetic orthography where sequential and contiguous letter strings represent phonemes. However, being a Semitic language it has a non-concatenated morphology that is based on root derivations. Experiment 1 showed that…
