Morita, Aiko; Saito, Satoru – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
The purpose of this study was to examine the role and nature of phonology in silent reading of Japanese sentences. An experiment was conducted using a Japanese sentence acceptability judgment task. One important finding was that participants more rapidly rejected homophonic sentences in which one two-kanji compound word was replaced by its…

Higgins, Meaghan C.; Penney, Sarah B.; Robertson, Erin K. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
The roles of phonological short-term memory (pSTM) and speech perception in spoken sentence comprehension were examined in an experimental design. Deficits in pSTM and speech perception were simulated through task demands while typically-developing children (N = 71) completed a sentence-picture matching task. Children performed the control,…

Aydin, Burcu; Barin, Muzaffer; Yagiz, Oktay – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
Brain damaged participants offer an opportunity to evaluate the cognitive and linguistic processes and make assumptions about how the brain works. Cognitive linguists have been investigating the underlying mechanisms of idiom comprehension to unravel the ongoing debate on hemispheric specialization in figurative language comprehension. The aim of…

Duranovic, Mirela; Tinjak, Sanela; Turbic-Hadzagic, Amira – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2014
The phonological skills are not the only linguistic abilities which are observed to have some influence on reading achievement in dyslexics. In addition to phonological skills, morphological skills should be also taken in consideration. The aim of this study is to extend investigation the linguistic abilities of children with dyslexia to the…

Janse, Esther; de Bree, Elise; Brouwer, Susanne – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2010
Initial lexical activation in typical populations is a direct reflection of the goodness of fit between the presented stimulus and the intended target. In this study, lexical activation was investigated upon presentation of polysyllabic pseudowords (such as "procodile for crocodile") for the atypical population of dyslexic adults to see to what…
