Understanding Word Learning Mechanisms in Beginning and Proficient Readers of Chinese: The Roles of Associative Learning and Linguistic Knowledge
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chow, Bonnie Wing-Yin – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
This study investigated the roles of associative learning and linguistic knowledge, in particular phonological and semantic knowledge, in word learning of Chinese readers using a cross-sectional design. Extending past research in associative learning using existing Chinese characters as word stimuli, this study resorted to pseudowords and invented…

Infants Track Word Forms in Early Word-Object Associations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Zamuner, Tania S.; Fais, Laurel; Werker, Janet F. – Developmental Science, 2014
A central component of language development is word learning. One characterization of this process is that language learners discover objects and then look for word forms to associate with these objects (Mcnamara, 1984; Smith, 2000). Another possibility is that word forms themselves are also important, such that once learned, hearing a familiar…

Immediate Priming and Cognitive Aftereffects
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Huber, David E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2008
Three forced-choice perceptual word identification experiments tested the claim that transitions from positive to negative priming as a function of increasing prime duration are due to cognitive aftereffects. These aftereffects are similar in nature to perceptual aftereffects that produce a negative image due to overexposure and habituation to a…

Effects of Sex Guilt and Sexual Stimulation on the Recall of Word Associations
Galbraith, Gary G.; Mosher, Donald L. – J Consult Clin Psychol, 1970
Free associations to double-entendre sexual and asexual words were elicited from college males under conditions of sexual stimulation and no stimulation (control). Results indicated significant interaction between stimulation and guilt and sexuality-asexuality of words might be factor in recall errors of high-and low-sex-guilt Ss. (Author)

Retrieval of Incidental Stimulus-Response Associations as a Source of Negative Priming
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rothermund, Klaus; Wentura, Dirk; De Houwer, Jan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
Priming effects of ignored distractor words were investigated in a task-switching situation that allowed an orthogonal variation of priming and response compatibility between prime and probe. Across 3 experiments, the authors obtained a disordinal interaction of priming and response relation. Responding was delayed in the ignored repetition…
