Lillian Chang – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Language is a unique skill used by humans to communicate thoughts and feelings. For most individuals, language is understood through different sensory modalities--for instance, hearing auditory words relies on audition, while perceiving visual speech via lipreading and reading written text both utilize the visual system. Although these different…

Dufour, Sophie; Grainger, Jonathan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
In this study we asked whether nonwords created by transposing two phonemes (/biks[open-mid back rounded vowel]t/) are perceived as being more similar to their base words (/bisk[open-mid back rounded vowel]t/) than nonwords created by substituting two phonemes (/bipf[open-mid back rounded vowel]t/). Using the short-term phonological priming and a…

Yuyu Zeng – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The spoken word production process includes four identifiable stages: conceptualization, lexical selection, form encoding, and articulation. This dissertation studies the spoken word production process of producing Mandarin monosyllabic words, focusing on lexical selection and form encoding. The Chinese languages, including Mandarin, differ from…

Deng, Xizi; Farris-Trimble, Ashley; Yeung, H. Henny – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Lexical access is highly contextual. For example, vowel (rime) information is prioritized over tone in the lexical access of isolated words in Mandarin Chinese, but these roles are flipped in constraining contexts. The time course of these contextual effects remains unclear, and so here we tracked the real-time eye gaze of native Mandarin speakers…

Creemers, Ava; Embick, David – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The question of whether lexical decomposition is driven by semantic transparency in the lexical processing of morphologically complex words, such as compounds, remains controversial. Prior research on compound processing has predominantly examined visual processing. Focusing instead on spoken word word recognition, the present study examined the…

Berglund-Barraza, Amy; Carey, Sarah; Hart, John; Vanneste, Sven; Evans, Julia L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Background: Phonological working memory is key to vocabulary acquisition, spoken word recognition, real-time language processing, and reading. Transcranial direct current stimulation, when coupled with behavioral training, has been shown to facilitate speech motor output processes, a key component of nonword repetition, the primary task used to…

Bosker, Hans Rutger; Badaya, Esperanza; Corley, Martin – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
Speech in everyday conversations is riddled with discourse markers (DMs), such as "well," "you know," and "like." However, in many lab-based studies of speech comprehension, such DMs are typically absent from the carefully articulated and highly controlled speech stimuli. As such, little is known about how these DMs…

Kapnoula, Efthymia C.; Samuel, Arthur G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Does saying a novel word help to recognize it later? Previous research on the effect of production on this aspect of word learning is inconclusive, as both facilitatory and detrimental effects of production are reported. In a set of three experiments, we sought to reconcile the seemingly contrasting findings by disentangling the production from…

Shen, Wei; Li, Zhao; Tong, Xiuhong – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the time course of meaning activation of the 2nd morpheme processing of compound words during Chinese spoken word recognition using eye tracking technique with the printed-word paradigm. Method: In the printed-word paradigm, participants were instructed to listen to a spoken target word (e.g., [Chinese…

Philip Capin; Sandra L. Gillam; Anna-Maria Fall; Gregory Roberts; Jordan T. Dille; Ronald B. Gillam – Annals of Dyslexia, 2022
This study investigated the presence of word reading difficulties in a sample of students in Grades 1-4 (n = 357) identified with language and reading comprehension difficulties. This study also examined whether distinct word reading and listening comprehension profiles emerged within this sample and the extent to which these groups varied in…

In theory, teacher knowledge predicts instructional practice, thus impacting student outcomes. When it comes to knowledge to teach elementary-grade reading, most previous surveys have focused on knowledge essential for word reading development; few surveys have provided a picture of educator knowledge to teach both word reading and language…

Levi, Susannah V. – Journal of Child Language, 2015
Research with adults has shown that spoken language processing is improved when listeners are familiar with talkers' voices, known as the familiar talker advantage. The current study explored whether this ability extends to school-age children, who are still acquiring language. Children were familiarized with the voices of three German-English…

Qu, Qingqing; Cui, Zhanling; Damian, Markus F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Evidence from both alphabetic and nonalphabetic languages has suggested the role of orthography in the processing of spoken words in individuals' native language (L1). Less evidence has existed for such effects in nonnative (L2) spoken-word processing. Whereas in L1 orthographic representations are learned only after phonological representations…
