Arias-Trejo, Natalia; Angulo-Chavira, Armando Q.; Avila-Varela, Daniela S.; Chua-Rodriguez, Fernanda; Mani, Nivedita – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Research on the early lexical-semantic system has described how toddlers organize word representations based on semantic and phonological features. This study is a longitudinal investigation of the development of this organization during infancy. Middle-high socioeconomic status Mexican toddlers (n = 28, 15 female) were presented with a…

Kang, Tinghu; Tang, Tinghao; Zhang, Peizhi; Luo, Shu; Qi, Huanhuan – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: The ability to translate concrete manipulatives into abstract mathematical formulas can aid in the solving of mathematical word problems among students, and metacognitive prompts play a significant role in enhancing this process. Aims: Based on the concept of semantic congruence, we explored the effects of metacognitive prompts and…

Rachel Zahn – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Evidence from neuropsychological studies of individuals with brain damage post-stroke has supported the separation of working memory (WM) capacities for semantic (word meaning) and phonological (speech sound) information. These separate capacities have been shown to play different roles in supporting multiword language production, with semantic WM…

Irina Elgort; Elisabeth Beyersmann – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
Theories of learning and attention predict a positive relationship between reading times on unfamiliar words and their learning; however, empirical findings of contextual learning studies range from a strong positive relationship to no relationship. To test the conjecture that longer reading times may reflect different cognitive and metacognitive…

Ostarek, Markus; Ishag, Adil; Joosen, Dennis; Huettig, Falk – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Implicit up/down words, such as "bird" and "foot", systematically influence performance on visual tasks involving immediately following targets in compatible versus incompatible locations. Recent studies have observed that the semantic relation between prime words and target pictures can strongly influence the size and even the…

Harel-Arbeli, Tami; Wingfield, Arthur; Palgi, Yuval; Ben-David, Boaz M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The study examined age-related differences in the use of semantic context and in the effect of semantic competition in spoken sentence processing. We used offline (response latency) and online (eye gaze) measures, using the "visual world" eye-tracking paradigm. Method: Thirty younger and 30 older adults heard sentences related…

Schmidtke, Daniel; Matsuki, Kazunaga; Kuperman, Victor – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
The current study addresses a discrepancy in the psycholinguistic literature about the chronology of information processing during the visual recognition of morphologically complex words. "Form-then-meaning" accounts of complex word recognition claim that morphemes are processed as units of form prior to any influence of their meanings,…

Brocher, Andreas – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Because many words of a language have more than one meaning, readers regularly need to disambiguate words during sentence comprehension. Using priming, eye-tracking, and event-related brain potentials, this thesis tested whether readers differently disambiguate words with semantically related meanings like "wire" and "cone,"…

Schotter, Elizabeth R.; Ferreira, Victor S.; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Do we access information from any object we can see, or do we access information only from objects that we intend to name? In 3 experiments using a modified multiple object naming paradigm, subjects were required to name several objects in succession when previews appeared briefly and simultaneously in the same location as the target as well as at…

Lee, Chia-lin; Middleton, Erica; Mirman, Daniel; Kalenine, Solene; Buxbaum, Laurel J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Previous studies suggest that action representations are activated during object processing, even when task-irrelevant. In addition, there is evidence that lexical-semantic context may affect such activation during object processing. Finally, prior work from our laboratory and others indicates that function-based ("use") and structure-based…

Bauer, Patricia J.; Blue, Shala N.; Xu, Aoxiang; Esposito, Alena G. – Developmental Psychology, 2016
We investigated 7- to 10-year-old children's productive extension of semantic memory through self-generation of new factual knowledge derived through integration of separate yet related facts learned through instruction or through reading. In Experiment 1, an experimenter read the to-be-integrated facts. Children successfully learned and…

Clifton, Charles, Jr. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
In 4 experiments, we used self-paced reading and eye tracking to demonstrate that readers are, under some conditions, sensitive to the presuppositions of definite versus indefinite determiner phrases (DPs). Reading was faster when the context stereotypically provided a single possible referent for a definite DP or multiple possible referents for…

Shimojima, Atsushi; Katagiri, Yasuhiro – Cognitive Science, 2013
Semantic studies on diagrammatic notations (Barwise & Etchemendy,; Shimojima,; Stenning & Lemon, ) have revealed that the "non-deductive," "emergent," or "perceptual" effects of diagrams (Chandrasekaran, Kurup, Banerjee, Josephson, & Winkler,; Kulpa,; Larkin & Simon,; Lindsay, ) are all rooted in the…

Fukumura, Kumiko; van Gompel, Roger P. G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
A controversial issue in anaphoric processing has been whether processing preferences of anaphoric expressions are affected by the antecedent's grammatical role or surface position. Using eye tracking, Experiment 1 examined the comprehension of pronouns during reading, which revealed shorter reading times in the pronoun region and later regions…

Hughes, Barry; McClelland, Amber; Henare, Dion – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2014
Relative to print reading, braille-reading finger movements are held to be of more constant speed, with continuous and exhaustive contact with all words. However, the continuity of movements is intermittent in two distinct ways: (a) readers reverse direction and reread material already encountered and (b) the continual fluctuations of velocity…
