Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sideridis, Georgios; Tsaousis, Ioannis; Al-Harbi, Khaleel – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2022
The goal of the present study was to address the analytical complexity of incorporating responses and response times through applying the Jeon and De Boeck mixture item response theory model in Mplus 8.7. Using both simulated and real data, we attempt to identify subgroups of responders that are rapid guessers or engage knowledge retrieval…

de Jong, Nivja H.; Steinel, Margarita P.; Florijn, Arjen F.; Schoonen, Rob; Hulstijn, Jan H. – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2012
This study examined the componential structure of second-language (L2) speaking proficiency. Participants--181 L2 and 54 native speakers of Dutch--performed eight speaking tasks and six tasks tapping nine linguistic skills. Performance in the speaking tasks was rated on functional adequacy by a panel of judges and formed the dependent variable in…

Vasishth, Shravan; Brussow, Sven; Lewis, Richard L.; Drenhaus, Heiner – Cognitive Science, 2008
A central question in online human sentence comprehension is, "How are linguistic relations established between different parts of a sentence?" Previous work has shown that this dependency resolution process can be computationally expensive, but the underlying reasons for this are still unclear. This article argues that dependency…

Speeded Recognition of Ungrammaticality: Double Violations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Moore, Timothy E.; Biederman, Irving – Cognition, 1979
The speed at which sentences with various kinds of violations could be rejected was studied. Compatible with the sequential model was the finding that noun-verb and adjective-noun double violations did not result in shorter reaction times than noun-verb single violations, although double violations were judged less acceptable.

Gender Decision.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Radeau, Monique; van Berkum, Jos J. A. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1996
Points out that in languages in which nouns have a grammatical gender, word recognition can be estimated by gender-decision response times. Notes that although gender decision has yet to be used extensively, it has proved sensitive to several factors affecting lexical access and that this task can be used with linguistic information from other…
