Orthographic Neighborhood Effects in Bilingual Word Recognition
A series of progressive demasking and lexical decision experiments investigated how the recognition of target words exclusively belonging to one language is affected by the existence of orthographic neighbors from the same or the other language of bilingual participants. Increasing the number of orthographic neighbors in Dutch systematically slowed response times to English target words in Dutc...
متن کاملEmbodied Semantic Effects in Visual Word Recognition
Words have meanings; on that much, psycholinguists are generally agreed. However, the issue of what “meaning” is, and why a word’s semantic content affects how easily it is recognised, are matters of less consensus. Studies of visual word recognition typically ask participants to perform one of two key tasks: deciding whether a letter string is a valid word (lexical decision), or reading a word...
متن کاملNeighborhood density effects in spoken word recognition in Spanish.
The present work examined the relationships among familiarity ratings, frequency of occurrence, neighborhood density, and word length in a corpus of Spanish words. The observed relationships were similar to the relationships found among the same variables in English. An auditory lexical decision task was then performed to examine the influence of word frequency, neighborhood density, and neighb...
متن کاملNeighborhood effects on spoken word recognition in Japanese
Reaction time of lexical decision and word recognition score were measured to investigate whether the neighborhood, a word candidate set with single mora substitution with a target word, has inhibitory effects on spoken word recognition in Japanese. Partial correlation analyses were conducted between subjects’ performance of spoken word recognition (reaction time and recognition score) and neig...
متن کاملPerea Neighborhood Effects in Visual Word Recognition and Reading 6
76 Introduction The examination of the nature of the underlying mechanisms that associate a printed word with its correct lexical unit (i.e., the process of lexical access) is one of the most basic issues in the research on reading. There are several reasons for this relevance. First, lexical access is a central component of sentence reading (Besner & Humphreys, 1991). Second, many reading diso...
