Direct linkde Long, Shauna P. A.; Folk, Jocelyn R. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
The current study investigated whether semantic (meaning) knowledge benefits learning orthography (spelling). Adult readers read 14 novel non-words embedded in sentences with informative or uninformative context. Orthographic and semantic posttests assessed learning. In E1, results indicated that the relationship between context and orthographic…

Hu, Zhiguo; Liu, Hongyan – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
To directly investigate the reciprocal causal relationship of the conceptual and affective meaning of words, two priming experiments were conducted with the lexical decision task. In Experiment 1, the influence of semantic relatedness on the affective priming effect was explored by manipulating the semantic associative strength between the prime…

Kennison, Shelia M.; Fernandez, Elaine C.; Bowers, J. Michael – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2014
The research investigated the roles of semantic and phonological processing in word production. Spanish-English bilingual individuals produced English target words when cued with definitions that were also written in English. When the correct word was not produced, a secondary task was performed in which participants rated the ease of…

Marinellie, Sally A. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2010
This study investigated children's understanding of unfamiliar noun and verb definitions in tasks that were manipulated for syntactic and semantic properties of definitions. The study was also designed to examine the relation between understanding word definitions and the skills of syntactic awareness and making inferences. A total of 117 children…

Parault, Susan J.; Schwanenflugel, Paula J. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2006
Sound-symbolism is the idea that the relationship between word sounds and word meaning is not arbitrary for all words, but rather that there are subsets of words in the world's languages for which sounds and their symbols have some degree of correspondence. The present research investigates sound-symbolism as a possible route to the learning of an…

Marinellie, Sally A.; Johnson, Cynthia J. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2004
The present investigation is a study of the definitional style of nouns and verbs in typically developing school-age children. A total of 30 children in upper-elementary grades provided verbal definitions for 10 common high-frequency nouns (e.g., apple, boat, baby) and 10 common high- frequency verbs (e.g., climb, sing, throw). All definitions…
