Peel, Hayden J.; Royals, Kayla A.; Chouinard, Philippe A. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
It is widely assumed that subliminal word priming is case insensitive and that a short SOA (< 100 ms) is required to observe any effects. Here we attempted to replicate results from an influential study with the inclusion of a longer SOA to re-examine these assumptions. Participants performed a semantic categorisation task on visible word…

Jiao, Lu; Timmer, Kalinka; Liu, Cong; Chen, Baoguo – Cognitive Science, 2022
The relationship between bilingual language control and executive control is debated. The present study investigated the effect of short-term language switching in a comprehension task on executive control performance in unbalanced bilinguals. Participants were required to perform a context task and an executive control task (i.e., flanker task)…

Antony, James W.; Bennion, Kelly A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Semantic similarity between stimuli can lead to false memories and can also potentially cause retroactive interference (RI) for veridical memories. Here, participants first learned spatial locations for "critical" words that reliably produce false memories in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm. Next, participants centrally viewed…

Qurbi, Essa Ali – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2022
This study investigated second language learners' processing of ambiguous words (e.g., "bank": [1] a financial institution, [2] an edge of a river/lake) and whether these learners are able to activate the secondary meaning as quickly as they do with the dominant meaning. English L2 and L1 participants used a window paradigm to perform a…

Wang, Luchang; Kager, René; Wong, Patrick C. M. – First Language, 2022
The acoustic properties of infant-directed speech (IDS) have been widely studied, but whether and how young learners' language development benefits from individual properties remains to be confirmed. This study investigated whether toddlers' word processing was affected by tone hyperarticulation in the IDS of a tone language. Nineteen- and…

Christopher Nicklin – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Since corpus linguistics gained popularity as a methodology in the latter half of the 20th century, second language acquisition research has seen the emergence of work investigating formulaic language, such as idioms, lexical bundles, and collocations. A collocation is a string of words that co-occur more routinely than probability would predict,…

Lee Tecoulesco – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Previous research has shown a relationship between robust neural encoding of speech by the auditory brainstem and children's phonological abilities. Two areas of brainstem encoding this work has included are the ABR dimensions of consistency, or how similar responses are to a repeated stimulus, and differentiation, or the degree to which responses…

Shuang Cheng – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Orthography-phonology mapping in world languages exhibits variations. Extensive research has investigated whether orthographic-phonological consistency impacts the cognitive processing of written words. A major body of work has focused on the recognition of phonographic first language (L1) written words. Results show that the more transparent the…

Haro, Juan; Comesaña, Montserrat; Ferré, Pilar – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
The present study explores the issue of why ambiguous words are recognized faster than unambiguous ones during word recognition. To this end we contrasted two different hypotheses: the "semantic feedback" hypothesis (Hino and Lupker in J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 22:1331-1356, 1996. https://doi.org/10.1037/0096-1523.22.6.1331), and…

Taikh, Alexander; Lupker, Stephen J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Considerable research effort has been devoted to investigating semantic priming effects, particularly, the locus of those effects. Semantically related primes might activate their target's lexical representation (through automatic spreading activation at short stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs), or through generation of words expected to follow…

The Effect of Emotional Valence on Auditory Word Recognition Memory in English as a Foreign Language
Arriagada-Mödinger, Francia; Ferreira, Roberto A. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
The present study investigated the effect of emotional valence on auditory word recognition memory in English as a foreign language. Participants included 48 native Spanish speakers whose foreign language was English. They viewed four emotionally negative, four positive, and four neutral videos that, in total, contained 48 emotionally valenced…

Dann, Kelly M.; Veldre, Aaron; Andrews, Sally – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Much of the evidence for morphological decomposition accounts of complex word identification has relied on the masked-priming paradigm. However, morphologically complex words are typically encountered in sentence contexts and processing begins before a word is fixated, when it is in the parafovea. To evaluate whether the single word-identification…

Jiang, Nan; Feng, Lijuan – Foreign Language Annals, 2022
The process of word recognition can be analytic (or serial) or holistic (or parallel). They differ in the size of the processing units (lexical vs. sublexical) or in whether sublexical units are processed sequentially or simultaneously. First language (L1) reading development has been found to involve a transition from serial processing to…

Sun, Jing; Zhao, Weiqi; Pae, Hye K. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
Chinese coordinative compound words are common and unique in inter-character semantic and orthographic relationships. This study explored the inter-character orthographic similarity effects on the recognition of transparent two-morpheme coordinative compound words. Seventy-two native Chinese readers participated in a lexical decision task. The…

Fournet, Colas; Mirault, Jonathan; Perea, Manuel; Grainger, Jonathan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
In four experiments, we investigated the impact of letter case (lower case vs. UPPER CASE) on the processing of sequences of written words. Experiment 1 used the rapid parallel visual presentation (RPVP) paradigm with postcued identification of one word in a five-word sequence. The sequence could be grammatically correct (e.g., "the boy likes…
