Benjamin Kowialiewski; Steve Majerus; Klaus Oberauer – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Recall performance in working memory (WM) is strongly affected by the similarity between items. When asked to encode and recall list of items in their serial order, people confuse more often the position of similar compared to dissimilar items. Models of WM explain this deleterious effect of similarity through a problem of discriminability between…

Marecka, Marta; McDonald, Alison; Madden, Gillian; Fosker, Tim – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Research suggests that second language words are learned faster when they are similar in phonological structure or accent to the words of an individual's first language. Many major theories suggest this happens because of differences in frequency of exposure and context between first and second language words. Here, we examine the independent…

Retuning of Lexical-Semantic Representations: Repetition and Spacing Effects in Word-Meaning Priming
Betts, Hannah N.; Gilbert, Rebecca A.; Cai, Zhenguang G.; Okedara, Zainab B.; Rodd, Jennifer M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Current models of word-meaning access typically assume that lexical-semantic representations of ambiguous words (e.g., 'bark of the dog/tree') reach a relatively stable state in adulthood, with only the relative frequencies of meanings and immediate sentence context determining meaning preference. However, recent experience also affects…

Sadikova, Aida G.; Kajumova, Diana F.; Davletbaeva, Diana N.; Khasanova, Oxana V.; Karimova, Anna A.; Valiullina, Gulnaz F. – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2016
The relevance of the presented problems due to the fact that reinterpreted the values producing the foundations and formation of the lexical meaning of the derived adjective occurs according to the laws of associative thinking and it should be explained through semantic-cognitive analysis. The goal of the article is the description and comparison…

Mann, Wolfgang; Sheng, Li; Morgan, Gary – Language Learning, 2016
This study compared the lexical-semantic organization skills of bilingually developing deaf children in American Sign Language (ASL) and English with those of a monolingual hearing group. A repeated meaning-association paradigm was used to assess retrieval of semantic relations in deaf 6-10-year-olds exposed to ASL from birth by their deaf…

Lin, Yen-Yu; Chung, Siaw-Fong – Taiwan Journal of TESOL, 2016
CHALLENGE is generally perceived as a negative word synonymous with "dispute," "defy," "confrontation," and "contest." However, when resorting to dictionary definitions, CHALLENGE has unexpectedly been found to possess positive senses such as "stimulating" and "arousing competitive…
