Ambiguity and synonymy effects in lexical decision, naming, and semantic categorization tasks: Interactions between orthography, phonology, and semantics.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2002
In this article, ambiguity and synonymy effects were examined in lexical decision, naming, and semantic categorization tasks. Whereas the typical ambiguity advantage was observed in lexical decision and naming, an ambiguity disadvantage was observed in semantic categorization.

An evaluation of the semantic categorization task in Japanese word recognition

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2002
In this paper an evaluation of the semantic categorization task in Japanese word recognition is reported. Data used in this experiment were taken from Yoneyama (2002) in which fillers were the words for gyesh responses for semantic categories. In this experiment, participants had to deal with 28 multiple semantic categories. Two findings were concluded.

Semantic capabilities of the left and right cerebral hemispheres in categorization tasks: Effects of verbal-pictorial presentation

Neuropsychologia, 1990
Two lateral tachistoscopic experiments were carried out to test semantic capabilities of the left and right cerebral hemispheres through categorization tasks with verbal and pictorial presentations. RVF advantages were obtained for verbal presentations in both category-membership and category-matching tasks.

Naming and categorizing objects: Task differences modulate the polarity of semantic effects in the picture–word interference paradigm

Memory & Cognition, 2012
The picture-word interference paradigm is a prominent tool for studying lexical retrieval during speech production. When participants name the pictures, interference from semantically related distractor words has regularly been shown. By contrast, when participants categorize the pictures, facilitation from semantically related distractors has ...

Automatic processing of space and valence in a semantic categorization task

2012
In English as in German there are many metaphors and idioms that link valence (positive/negative) to the vertical spatial axis (up/down) (e.g., to be in high spirits or to feel down). The present thesis explores the implications of such thematic clusters of metaphors, and endeavors to demonstrate that these metaphors stem from an underlying conceptual ...

Performance on a semantic verbal fluency task across time: Dissociation between clustering, switching, and categorical exploitation processes

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 2009
The aims of this study were to investigate semantic retrieval processes and errors across time during a semantic fluency task and to specify their components (i.e., executive vs. semantic). To do so, we analyzed the productions of 50 healthy participants (using the "supermarket" fluency task).

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Adolescents’ Processing of Pictures and Written Words for Taxonomic Categories in a Priming Task of Semantic Categorization

American Annals of the Deaf, 2013
Inspired by Research by , the authors examined Chinese deaf and hard of hearing adolescents’ responses to pictures for taxonomic categories of basic level (exemplar pictures) preceded by exemplar pictures, and to written words for taxonomic categories of basic level (exemplar words) preceded by exemplar words or by written words for those of ...

The Effects of Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment on Go/NoGo Semantic Categorization Task Performance and Event-Related Potentials

Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2016
We examined the effects of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) on behavioral (response times and error rates) and scalp-recorded event-related potential (ERP) measures of response execution and inhibition, using Go/NoGo tasks involving basic and superordinate semantic categorization.

Auditory lexical – semantic processing in aphasia during semantic categorization task: ERP study

2015
Objective: N400 has proved to be a robust ERP component and has been regarded as an electrophysiological correlate of various aspects of language processing: semantic integration, facilitated lexical access, semantic memory search etc. According to previous neuropsychological, neuroimaging and some electrophysiological studies on semantic ...

Effects of a small dose of olanzapine on healthy subjects according to their schizotypy: An ERP study using a semantic categorization and an oddball task

European Neuropsychopharmacology, 2013
Delusions and hallucinations are often meaningful. They thus reveal abnormal semantic activations. To start testing whether antipsychotics act by reducing abnormal semantic activations we focused on the N400 event-related brain potential, which is elicited by meaningful stimuli, such as words, and whose distribution on the scalp is known to depend on ...
