Camilo R. Ronderos; John M. Tomlinson; Ira Noveck – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Irony is a heavily context-dependent pragmatic phenomenon. But what is it about context that facilitates or blocks irony comprehension? Based on the echoic account, we suggest that a context facilitates irony comprehension when it makes manifest a speaker's intentions and attitude, i.e., when a context makes it easy for participants to engage…

?urcan, Alexandra; Howman, Hannah; Filik, Ruth – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
This article addresses a current theoretical debate between modular and interactive accounts of sarcasm processing, by investigating the role of context (specifically, knowing that a character has been sarcastic before) in the comprehension of a sarcastic remark. An eye-tracking experiment was conducted in which participants were asked to read…

Argyriou, Paraskevi; Mohr, Christine; Kita, Sotaro – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Research suggests that speech-accompanying gestures influence cognitive processes, but it is not clear whether the gestural benefit is specific to the gesturing hand. Two experiments tested the "(right/left) hand-specificity" hypothesis for self-oriented functions of gestures: gestures with a particular hand enhance cognitive processes…

Olkoniemi, Henri; Ranta, Henri; Kaakinen, Johanna K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
The present study examined individual differences in the processing of different forms of figurative language. Sixty participants read sarcastic, metaphorical, and literal sentences embedded in story contexts while their eye movements were recorded, and responded to a text memory and an inference question after each story. Individual differences…

White, Katherine K.; Abrams, Lise; McWhite, Cullen B.; Hagler, Heather L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
In this experiment, syntactic constraints on the retrieval of orthography were investigated using homophones embedded in sentence contexts. Participants typed auditorily presented sentences that included a contextually appropriate homophone that either shared part of speech with its homophone competitor (i.e., was syntactically unambiguous) or had…
