High-frequency neural activity predicts word parsing in ambiguous speech streams [PDF]
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2016 During speech listening, the brain parses a continuous acoustic stream of information into computational units (e.g., syllables or words) necessary for speech comprehension. Recent neuroscientific hypotheses have proposed that neural oscillations contribute to speech parsing, but whether they do so on the basis of acoustic cues (bottom-up acoustic ...

Measuring knowledge of words with multiple meanings
Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2015 When reading or listening to English, we encounter many words, most of which are high-frequency, polysemous words. Due to their polysemous nature, not knowing one particular meaning of a high-frequency word may prevent learners from understanding the ...

Dissociating word frequency and age of acquisition: The Klein effect revived (and reversed). [PDF]
, 2006 The Klein effect (G. S. Klein, 1964) refers to the finding that high-frequency words produce greater interference in a color-naming task than low-frequency words.

Covariation Among Vowel Height Effects on Acoustic Measures [PDF]
, 2011 Covariation among vowel height effects on vowel intrinsic fundamental frequency (IF0), voice onset time (VOT), and voiceless interval duration (VID) is analyzed to assess the plausibility of a common physiological mechanism underlying variation in these ...

Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 Many studies have repeatedly shown an orthographic consistency effect in the auditory lexical decision task. Words with phonological rimes that could be spelled in multiple ways (i.e., inconsistent words) typically produce longer auditory lexical ...

A comparison of homonym meaning frequency estimates derived from movie and television subtitles, free association, and explicit ratings [PDF]
, 2019 First Online: 10 September 2018Most words are ambiguous, with interpretation dependent on context. Advancing theories of ambiguity resolution is important for any general theory of language processing, and for resolving inconsistencies in observed ...

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2017 Experimental evidence indicates that neurophysiological responses to well-known meaningful sensory items and symbols (such as familiar objects, faces, or words) differ from those to matched but novel and senseless materials (unknown objects, scrambled ...

SAGE Open, 2021 The purpose of this study was to provide high frequency word lists for Mandarin-speaking children between 3 and 6 years of age and to explore the differences between each part of speech (POS) category among different age groups.
