Lack of Phonological Mediation in a Semantic Categorization Task

Journal of Memory and Language, 1998
Abstract This study addresses the question of whether it is possible to read a word for meaning without phonological mediation. The task was semantic categorization. Participants decided whether or not each target word belonged to the category “words with definable meanings” (e.g., PLANK, PINT) or the category “given names” (e.g., TRENT, PAM).

The Effect of Semantic Distance in Yes/No and Go/No-Go Semantic Categorization Tasks [PDF]

Memory and Cognition, 2003
The effect of semantic distance (Lund & Burgess, 1996) was examined in three semantic categorization experiments. Experiment 1, a yes/no task that required participants to make animal/nonanimal judgments by responding to both sets of stimuli (Forster & Shen, 1996), revealed no effect of semantic distance.

Negative Priming in a Gender Decision Task and in a Semantic Categorization Task

Acta Psychologica, 2001
In three experiments, we tested the hypothesis that negative priming (NP) can occur without prime or target selection, when conflicting properties are associated with the prime and the target, and when the experimental conditions allow the encoding of the target as a separate episode from the prime.

The N400 in a Semantic Categorization Task Across 6 Decades

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology - Evoked Potentials, 1998
To characterize the effects of normal aging on the amplitude, latency and scalp distribution of the N400 congruity effect.Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded from 72 adults (half of them men) between the ages of 20 and 80 years (12/decade) as they performed a semantic categorization task. Participants listened to spoken phrases (e.g. 'a

Early Semantic Activation in a Semantic Categorization Task With Masked Primes: Cascaded or Not?

Journal of Memory and Language, 2015
Abstract The assumption that activation is cascaded implies that the semantic properties of all neighbors of the input word are activated to varying degrees. This assumption is tested using masked priming in a semantic categorization experiment, where the prime belongs to the same category as the target (a congruent prime), or to a different category

Left Frontal Activation During a Semantic Categorization Task: An fMRI-Study

International Journal of Neuroscience, 1999
In the present study we measured brain activation, with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during the execution of a covert semantic categorization task. This involves activation of working memory and internal concept generation. Previous brain imaging studies of covert verbal fluency have shown widespread activation in the frontal and ...
