Kaschak, Michael P.; Zwaan, Rolf A.; Aveyard, Mark; Yaxley, Richard H. – Cognitive Science, 2006
Previous reports have demonstrated that the comprehension of sentences describing motion in a particular direction (toward, away, up, or down) is affected by concurrently viewing a stimulus that depicts motion in the same or opposite direction. We report 3 experiments that extend our understanding of the relation between perception and language…

Avrutin, Sergey – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2006
Clahsen and Felser's article (CF) is an important contribution to the field of psycholinguistics in several respects. First, it draws attention to the importance of a better understanding of the processing mechanisms utilized by child and adult language learners. Differences in these mechanisms may be responsible for the final outcome of the…

Plante, Elena; Holland, Scott K.; Schmithorst, Vince J. – Brain and Language, 2006
Prosodic information in the speech signal carries information about linguistic structure as well as emotional content. Although children are known to use prosodic information from infancy onward to assist linguistic decoding, the brain correlates of this skill in childhood have not yet been the subject of study. Brain activation associated with…

Van Petten, Cyma; Luka, Barbara J. – Brain and Language, 2006
Measures of electrical brain activity (event-related potentials, ERPs) have been useful in understanding language processing for several decades. Extant data suggest that the amplitude of the N400 component of the ERP is a general index of the ease or difficulty of retrieving stored conceptual knowledge associated with a word, which is dependent…

Weber, Andrea; Grice, Maetine; Crocker, Matthew W. – Cognition, 2006
An eye-tracking experiment examined whether prosodic cues can affect the interpretation of grammatical functions in the absence of clear morphological information. German listeners were presented with scenes depicting three potential referents while hearing temporarily ambiguous SVO and OVS sentences. While case marking on the first noun phrase…

Plaut, David C.; Booth, James R. – Psychological Review, 2006
Plaut and Booth developed a distributed connectionist model of written word comprehension and evaluated it against empirical findings on individual and developmental differences in semantic priming in visual lexical decision. Borowsky and Besner raised a number of challenges for this model. First, the model was not shown to be capable of…

Kohnert, Kathryn; Windsor, Jennifer; Yim, Dongsun – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2006
We report results from 2 language-based processing tasks designed to investigate the performance of linguistically diverse learners. The tasks were the Competing Language Processing Task (CLPT) and Non-Word Repetition (NWR). Participants were 100 school-age children in 1 of 3 different experimental groups: monolingual English-speaking children…

Savage, Robert – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2006
In the influential "simple view of reading" (Gough & Tunmer, 1986), Reading Comprehension (R) = Decoding (D) x Linguistic Comprehension (C). To evaluate this model, this article explores the performance of 15-year-olds with severe reading delays. Results showed that D and C described reading comprehension better than D and verbal cognitive ability…

van den Brink, Danielle; Brown, Colin M.; Hagoort, Peter – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
An event-related brain potential experiment was carried out to investigate the temporal relationship between lexical selection and the semantic integration in auditory sentence processing. Participants were presented with spoken sentences that ended with a word that was either semantically congruent or anomalous. Information about the moment in…

Unsworth, Len – English Teaching: Practice and Critique, 2006
The increasingly integrative use of images with language in many different types of texts in electronic and paper media has created an urgent need to go beyond logocentric accounts of literacy and literacy pedagogy. Correspondingly there is a need to augment the genre, grammar and discourse descriptions of verbal text as resources for literacy…

Costa, Albert; Heij, Wido La; Navarrete, Eduardo – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2006
In this article we discuss different views about how information flows through the lexical system in bilingual speech production. In the first part, we focus on some of the experimental evidence often quoted in favor of the parallel activation of the bilinguals' two languages from the semantic system in the course of language production. We argue…

Hsiao, Janet Hui-wen; Shillcock, Richard – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2006
The complexity of Chinese orthography has hindered the progress of research in Chinese to the same level of sophistication of that in alphabetic languages such as English. Also, there has been no publicly available resource concerning the decomposition of Chinese characters, which is essential in any attempt to model the cognitive processes of…

Mulligan, Neil W.; Lozito, Jeffrey P.; Rosner, Zachary A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Generation enhances memory for occurrence but may not enhance other aspects of memory. The present study further delineates the negative generation effect in context memory reported in N. W. Mulligan (2004). First, the negative generation effect occurred for perceptual attributes of the target item (its color and font) but not for extratarget…

Cohen-Mimran, Ravit – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
The purpose of this study was to assess to what extent specific reading disabilities and poor phonologic processing in children who read Hebrew, a primarily consonant orthography, are related to central auditory temporal processing deficits (TPDs). Twenty-four Hebrew-speaking children (ages 10-13) with and without reading disabilities were asked…

Delattre, Marie; Bonin, Patrick; Barry, Christopher – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
The authors examined the effect of sound-to-spelling regularity on written spelling latencies and writing durations in a dictation task in which participants had to write each target word 3 times in succession. The authors found that irregular words (i.e., those containing low-probability phoneme-to-grapheme mappings) were slower both to…
