Pattamadilok, Chotiga; Lafontaine, Helene; Morais, Jose; Kolinsky, Regine – Language and Speech, 2010
The influence of orthographic knowledge has been consistently observed in speech recognition and metaphonological tasks. The present study provides data suggesting that such influence also pervades other cognitive domains related to language abilities, such as verbal working memory. Using serial recall of auditory seven-word lists, we observed…

Lidji, Pascale; Kolinsky, Regine; Lochy, Aliette; Morais, Jose – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2007
This study was aimed at examining whether pitch height and pitch change are mentally represented along spatial axes. A series of experiments explored, for isolated tones and 2-note intervals, the occurrence of effects analogous to the spatial numerical association of response codes (SNARC) effect. Response device orientation (horizontal vs.…

Ventura, Paulo; Kolinsky, Regine; Querido, Jose-Luis; Fernandes, Sandra; Morais, Jose – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2007
We examined phonological priming in illiterate adults, using a cross-modal picture-word interference task. Participants named pictures while hearing distractor words at different Stimulus Onset Asynchronies (SOAs). Ex-illiterates and university students were also tested. We specifically assessed the ability of the three populations to use…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ventura, Paulo; Morais, Jose; Kolinsky, Regine – Cognition, 2007
The influence of orthography on children's on-line auditory word recognition was studied from the end of Grade 2 to the end of Grade 4, by examining the orthographic consistency effect [Ziegler, J. C., & Ferrand, L. (1998). Orthography shapes the perception of speech: The consistency effect in auditory recognition. "Psychonomic Bulletin & Review",…

Migrations in Speech Recognition.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kolinsky, Regine; Morais, Jose – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1996
Describes a new paradigm that may be appropriate for uncovering speech perceptual codes. Illusory words are detected by blending two dichotic stimuli. The paradigm's design allows for comparison of different speech units by the manipulation of the distribution of information between two inputs. (23 references) (Author/CK)
