Mixing the stimulus list in bilingual lexical decision turns cognate facilitation effects into mirrored inhibition effects

, 2020
To test the BIA+ and Multilink models’ accounts of how bilinguals process words with different degrees of cross-linguistic orthographic and semantic overlap, we conducted two experiments manipulating stimulus list composition.

Can chunk size differences explain developmental changes in lexical learning?

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
In three experiments, we investigated Hebb repetition learning (HRL) differences between children and adults, as a function of the type of item (lexical vs. sub-lexical) and the level of item-overlap between sequences. In a first experiment, it was shown

The Composite Nature of Interlanguage as a Developing System [PDF]

, 2009
This paper explores the nature of interlanguage (IL) as a developing system with a focus on the abstract lexical structure underlying IL construction. The developing system of IL is assumed to be ‘composite’ in that in second language acquisition (SLA ...

Item-Level Story Recall Predictors of Amyloid-Beta in Late Middle-Aged Adults at Increased Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
BackgroundStory recall (SR) tests have shown variable sensitivity to rate of cognitive decline in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarkers. Although SR tasks are typically scored by obtaining a sum of items recalled, item-level analyses may ...

Lexicality and frequency in specific language impairment: accuracy and error data from two nonword repetition tests [PDF]

, 2010
Purpose: Deficits in phonological working memory and deficits in phonological processing have both been considered potential explanatory factors in Specific Language Impairment (SLI).

ERP measures of semantic richness: The case of multiple senses

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
Semantic richness refers to the amount of semantic information that a lexical item possesses. An important measure of semantic richness is the number of related senses that a word has (e.g., TABLE meaning a piece of furniture, a table of contents, to lay

Why computational models are better than verbal theories: the case of nonword repetition [PDF]

, 2014
Tests of nonword repetition (NWR) have often been used to examine children’s phonological knowledge and word learning abilities. However, theories of NWR primarily explain performance either in terms of phonological working memory or long-term knowledge,

ERP characterization of sustained attention effects in visual lexical categorization.

PLoS ONE, 2010
As our understanding of the basic processes underlying reading is growing, the key role played by attention in this process becomes evident. Two research topics are of particular interest in this domain: (1) it is still undetermined whether sustained ...

A Corpus-Based, Pilot Study of Lexical Stress Variation in American English [PDF]

, 2010
Phonological free variation describes the phenomenon of there being more than one pronunciation for a word without any change in meaning (e.g. because, schedule, vehicle).
