How the speed of word finding depends on ventral tract integrity in primary progressive aphasia
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2020 Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a clinical neurodegenerative syndrome with word finding problems as a core clinical symptom. Many aspects of word finding have been clarified in psycholinguistics using picture naming and a picture-word interference ...

What phonological facilitation tells about semantic interference: A dual-task study
Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 Despite increasing interest on the topic, the extent to which linguistic processing demands attentional resources remains poorly understood. We report an empirical re-examination of claims about lexical processing made on the basis of the picture-word ...

A novel multi-word paradigm for investigating semantic context effects in language production.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Semantic context modulates precision and speed of language production. Using different experimental designs including the Picture-Word-Interference (PWI) paradigm, it has consistently been shown that categorically related distractor words (e.g., cat ...

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Introduction The organisation of semantic memory underlies our use of language. Memory associations can facilitate behaviour (e.g., as seen in semantic priming), but can also interfere with selecting a response because of increased competition between ...

The roles of shared vs. distinctive conceptual features in lexical access
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Contemporary models of spoken word production assume conceptual feature sharing determines the speed with which objects are named in categorically-related contexts.

The interplay between selective and nonselective inhibition during single word production. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The present study investigated the interplay between selective inhibition (the ability to suppress specific competing responses) and nonselective inhibition (the ability to suppress any inappropriate response) during single word production.

Listening to Puns Elicits the Co-Activation of Alternative Homophone Meanings during Language Production. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Recent evidence suggests that lexical-semantic activation spread during language production can be dynamically shaped by contextual factors. In this study we investigated whether semantic processing modes can also affect lexical-semantic activation ...

The effect of semantic distance in the picture-word interference task
Linguistic Proceedings Series, 2006 First, we investigated whether semantic interference in the picture-word task generalizes from close neighbours to more distant category members. Second, we investigated the operationalisation of semantic distance. The presented work manipulated closely versus distantly related distractor words, and examined to which degree various operationalisations ...

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Background: Accumulating evidence from empirical and clinical studies has shown evidence suggesting that lexical selection is more difficult when there is greater cross-language competition. These studies further suggest that higher cognitive mechanisms,

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022 The cognitive stimulation induced by multilingualism may slow down age-related memory impairment. However, a suitable neuroscientific framework to assess the influence of multilingualism on age-related memory processes is missing.
