Broersma, Mirjam – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2012
This study investigates how inaccurate phoneme processing affects recognition of partially onset-overlapping pairs like "DAFFOdil-DEFIcit" and of minimal pairs like "flash-flesh" in second-language listening. Two cross-modal priming experiments examined differences between native (L1) and second-language (L2) listeners at two…

Acha, Joana; Perea, Manuel – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2010
Prior research has shown that the search function in the visual letter search task may reflect the regularities of the orthographic structure of a given script. In the present experiment, we examined whether the search function of letter detection was sensitive to consonant-vowel status of a pre-cued letter. Participants had to detect the…

Boot, Inge; Pecher, Diane – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2008
Many models of word recognition predict that neighbours of target words will be activated during word processing. Cascaded models can make the additional prediction that semantic features of those neighbours get activated before the target has been uniquely identified. In two semantic decision tasks neighbours that were congruent (i.e., from the…

Fiorentino, Robert; Poeppel, David – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2007
The structure of lexical entries and the status of lexical decomposition remain controversial. In the psycholinguistic literature, one aspect of this debate concerns the psychological reality of the morphological complexity difference between compound words ("teacup") and single words ("crescent"). The present study investigates morphological…

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…

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…

Setic, Mia; Domijan, Drazen – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2007
According to the spatial registration hypothesis, the representation of stimulus location is automatically encoded during perception and it can interact with a more abstract linguistic representation. We tested this hypothesis in two experiments, using the semantic judgements of words. In the first experiment, words for animals that either fly or…

Chen, Hsin-Chin; Vaid, Jyotsna – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2007
Do native readers segment polysyllabic words based on orthographic/morphological criteria or phonological criteria? Research by Taft (1979, 2001) argues in support of the former, as readers were faster in split-word lexical decision tasks when the words were segmented by orthographic/ morphological principles based on Basic Orthographic Syllable…

Ashley, Aaron; Carlson, Laura A. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2007
The location of an object is often described by spatially relating it to a known landmark. The spatial terms used in such descriptions can provide various types of information. For example, projective terms such as "above" indicate direction but not distance, whereas proximal terms such as "near" indicate distance but not direction. Previous…

MacWhinney, Brian; Pleh, Csaba – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1997
Focuses on the major cues processed in Hungarian in order to distinguish subjects and objects in transitive clauses: subject-verb and object-verb agreement-marking; case-marking; animacy; and word order. The research reveals that double agreement-marking in Hungarian exists even in week agreement situations, a testimony to the diachronic tenacity…

Kilborn, Kerry; Moss, Helen – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1996
Notes that in a typical word monitoring paradigm, subjects monitor ongoing language input for a pre-designated target word and that independent variables include the nature and position of the target word and the context in which it is embedded. Also notes that forms of this task are suitable for studies with young children and with individuals…

Emmorey, Karen – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1997
Discusses two experiments investigating non-antecedent suppression in American Sign Language (ASL). Findings indicate that spoken and signed languages use the same processing mechanisms in resolving co-reference relations. Results also indicate that within the probe recognition paradigm, the spatial indexing of ASL pronouns is similar to gender…

van Donselaar, Wilma – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1996
Describes a mispronunciation detection task, in which listeners' sensitivity to deviations in speech is measured by their pressing a button upon hearing a mispronounced word in lists or sentences. Notes that reaction times and miss rates indicate the effects of position of a misplaced phoneme in a word, the size of the phonemic deviation, lexical…

Blackwell, Arshavir; And Others – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1996
Presents the results of three experiments investigating the time course of grammaticality judgement. The high correlations among the experiments suggest that the incremental tasks assigned were tapping into the same decision-making process as is found online. The article discusses the findings' implications for the error types that do and do not…
