Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sunderman, Gretchen L.; Priya, Kanu – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2012
This study investigates the phonological nature of the lexical links in the bilingual lexicon using different-script bilinguals. Highly proficient Hindi-English bilinguals performed a translation recognition task (i.e., decide whether two words presented sequentially are a correct translation pair). For the critical trials, the second word was a…

Object Interference in Children's Colour and Position Naming: Lexical Interference or Task-Set Competition?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
La Heij, Wido; Boelens, Harrie; Kuipers, Jan-Rouke – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2010
Cascade models of word production assume that during lexical access all activated concepts activate their names. In line with this view, it has been shown that naming an object's colour is facilitated when colour name and object name are phonologically related (e.g., "blue" and "blouse"). Prevor and Diamond's (2005) recent observation that…

Plasticity of Grammatical Recursion in German Learners of Dutch
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Davidson, Douglas J.; Indefrey, Peter – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2009
Previous studies have examined cross-serial and embedded complement clauses in West Germanic in order to distinguish between different types of working memory models of human sentence processing, as well as different formal language models. Here, adult plasticity in the use of these constructions is investigated by examining the response of…

Modelling Focused Learning in Role Assignment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Matessa, Michael; Anderson, John R. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2000
ACT-R is a theory of cognition that is capable of learning the relative usefulness of alternative rules. A model using this implicit procedural learning mechanism is described that explains results from a concept formation task created by McDonald and MacWhinney (1991), a role assignment created by Blackwell (1995), and a new role assignment…

Phoneme Monitoring.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Connine, Cynthia M.; Titone, Debra – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1996
Reviews phoneme monitoring studies from 1969 to 1996 and groups them in terms of issues addressed with the task, including the contribution of the lexicon to speech perception, processing complexity, attention, contribution of prosodic information, and the basic unit of speech perception. Identifies and highlights task demands and artifactual…

Syntactic Priming.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Nicol, Janet L. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1996
Reviews the syntactic priming task, a paradigm involving the presentation of a phrasal or clausal context, followed by the presentation of a target item for lexical decision or naming. Notes that response times are faster for targets syntactically congruent with the preceding context than for incongruent targets. Outlines how to administer this…
