Lee Tecoulesco – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Previous research has shown a relationship between robust neural encoding of speech by the auditory brainstem and children's phonological abilities. Two areas of brainstem encoding this work has included are the ABR dimensions of consistency, or how similar responses are to a repeated stimulus, and differentiation, or the degree to which responses…

Evans, William S.; Hula, William D.; Quique, Yina; Starns, Jeffrey J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Aphasia is a language disorder caused by acquired brain injury, which generally involves difficulty naming objects. Naming ability is assessed by measuring picture naming, and models of naming performance have mostly focused on accuracy and excluded valuable response time (RT) information. Previous approaches have therefore ignored the…

Lu, Aitao; Zhang, Jijia; Zhang, Ye; Li, Meirong; Hong, Xiuxiu; Zheng, Dongping; Deng, Ruchen – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
It is well known that the semantic features of gender associated with peoples' names are represented in the conceptual semantic system. However, there is scant evidence that such knowledge plays a role in name comprehension, and if so, in which processing stage this occurs. The aim of this study was to provide evidence concerning the time course…

Rabovsky, Milena; Schad, Daniel J.; Abdel Rahman, Rasha – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Language production ultimately aims to convey meaning. Yet words differ widely in the richness and density of their semantic representations, and these differences impact conceptual and lexical processes during speech planning. Here, we replicated the recent finding that semantic richness, measured as the number of associated semantic features…

Penke, Martina; Wimmer, Eva – First Language, 2020
In individuals with Down syndrome (DS) deficits in verbal short-term memory (VSTM) and deficits in sentence comprehension co-occur, suggesting that deficits in VSTM might be causal for the deficits in sentence comprehension. The present study aims to explore the presumed relationship between VSTM and sentence comprehension in individuals with DS…

Castro, Nichol; Stella, Massimo; Siew, Cynthia S. Q. – Cognitive Science, 2020
Investigating instances where lexical selection fails can lead to deeper insights into the cognitive machinery and architecture supporting successful word retrieval and speech production. In this paper, we used a multiplex lexical network approach that combines semantic and phonological similarities among words to model the structure of the mental…

Suzuki, Shungo; Kormos, Judit – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
The current study examined the extent to which cognitive fluency (CF) contributes to utterance fluency (UF) at the level of constructs. A total of 128 Japanese-speaking learners of English completed four speaking tasks--argumentative task, picture narrative task, reading-to-speaking task, and reading-while-listening-to-speaking task--and a battery…

Melnik-Leroy, Gerda Ana; Turnbull, Rory; Peperkamp, Sharon – Second Language Research, 2022
Previous studies have yielded contradictory results on the relationship between perception and production in second language (L2) phonological processing. We re-examine the relationship between the two modalities both within and across processing levels, addressing several issues regarding methodology and statistical analyses. We focus on the…

Yifei Gong; Klavs Hansen; Jianlin Chen – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Despite the worldwide prevalence of multilingualism, the knowledge of the relationship between domain-general cognitive control and multilingual language control remains scant. Here we provide new insights into this issue by examining systematically how different components of inhibitory control (i.e., response inhibition and interference…

Audiovisual Speech Processing in Relationship to Phonological and Vocabulary Skills in First Graders
Gijbels, Liesbeth; Yeatman, Jason D.; Lalonde, Kaylah; Lee, Adrian K. C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: It is generally accepted that adults use visual cues to improve speech intelligibility in noisy environments, but findings regarding visual speech benefit in children are mixed. We explored factors that contribute to audiovisual (AV) gain in young children's speech understanding. We examined whether there is an AV benefit to…

Investigating the Interplay between Morphosyntax and Memory for Events: The Case of Past Participles
Yanina Prystauka – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The representational product of sentence comprehension is the result of the interplay between episodic and semantic memory and our knowledge of the grammatical devices of our language which guide how we retrieve information from these systems. Past participles, being a part of speech derived from verbs but used in a prenominal position (e.g. words…

Muraki, Emiko J.; Pexman, Penny M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
In embodied theories of semantic representation, the processes and mechanisms of modal simulations that are engaged during semantic processing have tended to be underspecified. We investigated the possibility that motor imagery may be a mechanism of simulation, using an individual differences approach. In this preregistered study, we assessed…

Ivanova, Iva; Ferreira, Victor S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Four picture-description experiments investigated if syntactic formulation in language production can proceed with only minimal working memory involvement. Experiments 1-3 compared the initiation latencies, utterance durations, and errors for syntactically simpler picture descriptions (adjective-noun phrases, e.g., "the red book") to…

Vlach, Haley A.; DeBrock, Catherine A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Children are able to resolve the referential ambiguity of learning new words by tracking co-occurrence probabilities across moments in time, a behavior termed cross-situational word learning (CSWL). Although we know that children can use co-occurrence data to map words to objects, the literature has a striking limitation: research has focused on…

Gray, Shelley; Lancaster, Hope; Alt, Mary; Hogan, Tiffany P.; Green, Samuel; Levy, Roy; Cowan, Nelson – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: We investigated four theoretically based latent variable models of word learning in young school-age children. Method: One hundred sixty-seven English-speaking second graders with typical development from three U.S. states participated. They completed five different tasks designed to assess children's creation, storage, retrieval, and…
