Object-based attention in Chinese readers of Chinese words: beyond Gestalt principles.
Most object-based attention studies use objects defined bottom-up by Gestalt principles. In the present study, we defined objects top-down, using Chinese words that were seen as objects by skilled readers of Chinese. Using a spatial cuing paradigm, we found that a target character was detected faster if it was in the same word as the cued character than if it was in a different word. Because th...
متن کاملObject - based attention in Chinese readers of Chinese words : Beyond Gestalt principles
space based, so that attention was focused on regions of space, rather than on the objects in the display. Whether an object was selected was determined by its distance from the focus of attention. Space-based attention was modeled as spotlights (B. A. Eriksen & C. W. Eriksen, 1974; Posner, 1980), zoom lenses (C. W. Eriksen & St. James, 1986), and gradients (Downing & Pinker, 1985). Subsequentl...
متن کاملThe Effect of Book Design on Beginning Readers' Attention Allocation
Books for beginning readers typically intermix text and pictures in close proximity. The proximity of difficult-todecode text to pictures may induce competition between these sources of information. As a result, children may frequently shift gaze between text and pictures, which may degrade memory representations of the text and reduce comprehension. A mobile eye tracker was used to measure chi...
متن کاملThe neurobiology of language beyond single words.
A hallmark of human language is that we combine lexical building blocks retrieved from memory in endless new ways. This combinatorial aspect of language is referred to as unification. Here we focus on the neurobiological infrastructure for syntactic and semantic unification. Unification is characterized by a high-speed temporal profile including both prediction and integration of retrieved lexi...
متن کاملThe syllable frequency effect in visual recognition of French words: a study in skilled and beginning readers
The present study addressed the issue of syllable activation during visual recognition of French words. In addition, it was investigated whether word orthographic information underlies syllable effects. To do so, words were selected according to the frequency of their first syllable (high versus low) and the frequency of the orthographic correspondence of this syllable (high versus low). For ex...
