Making Sense of Sentences: Top-Down Processing of Speech by Adult Cochlear Implant Users
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Moberly, Aaron C.; Reed, Jessa – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Speech recognition relies upon a listener's successful pairing of the acoustic--phonetic details from the bottom-up input with top-down linguistic processing of the incoming speech stream. When the speech is spectrally degraded, such as through a cochlear implant (CI), this role of top-down processing is poorly understood. This study…

Locus of Semantic Interference in Picture Naming: Evidence from Dual-Task Performance
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Piai, Vitória; Roelofs, Ardi; Schriefers, Herbert – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
Disagreement exists regarding the functional locus of semantic interference of distractor words in picture naming. This effect is a cornerstone of modern psycholinguistic models of word production, which assume that it arises in lexical response-selection. However, recent evidence from studies of dual-task performance suggests a locus in…

The Influence of Reward Associations on Conflict Processing in the Stroop Task
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Krebs, Ruth M.; Boehler, Carsten N.; Woldorff, Marty G. – Cognition, 2010
Performance in a behavioral task can be facilitated by associating stimulus properties with reward. In contrast, conflicting information is known to impede task performance. Here we investigated how reward associations influence the within-trial processing of conflicting information using a color-naming Stroop task in which a subset of ink colors…

Can Automatic Picture Processing Influence Word Judgments?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lupker, Stephen J.; Katz, Albert N. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1982
Two experiments were undertaken to evaluate the influence of automatic semantic processing of pictures on word judgments. Results indicated that (1) perceptual factors influence responding in these types of tasks, (2) picture processing can facilitate word processing in some circumstances, and (3) incompatible background pictures can interfere…

Auditory Stroop Effects in Children with Hearing Impairment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jerger, Susan; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1993
An auditory Stroop task was administered to 20 children with hearing impairment (ages 3-10) and 60 normal-hearing children. Results suggest that the voice-gender and semantic dimensions of speech were not processed independently by children with or without hearing loss. Speech processing by children with hearing impairment was carried out in a…

The Stroop Phenomenon and Its Use in the Study of Perceptual, Cognitive and Response Processes.
Dyer, Frederick N. – 1972
The review summarizes empirical findings and theoretical views related to the Stroop color-word phenomenon, in which naming of a color is disrupted and delayed by the presence of an "irrelevant" word denoting a color different from the color patch. It was deemed important to increase awareness of this phenomenon, since it involves basic…
