Dissociating the influence of familiarity and meaningfulness from word frequency in naming and lexical decision performance.
Performance in two experiments was compared on a list of words of high and low frequency in which familiarity/meaningfulness (FM) was balanced and on a list of high- and low-frequency words in which FM was confounded with frequency (i.e., high frequency--high familiarity vs. low frequency--low familiarity). Both repetition and task (lexical decision and naming) were investigated. In the lexical...

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) produces deficits in speech comprehension in noise that primarily are due to impairments in identifying consonants. Here, we describe the California Syllable Test (CaST) that quantifies the identification of common American English consonants.

متن کاملMeaningfulness and Invariance
Few disavow the principle that scientific propositions should be meaningful in the sense of asserting something that is verifiable or falsifiable about the qualitative or empirical situation under discussion. What makes this principle tricky to apply in practice is that much of what is said is formulated not as simple assertions about qualitative or empirical events – such as a certain object s...
متن کاملPhonotactic Knowledge and Lexical-Semantic Processing in One-year-olds: Brain Responses to Words and Nonsense Words in Picture Contexts
During their first year of life, infants not only acquire probabilistic knowledge about the phonetic, prosodic, and phonotactic organization of their native language, but also begin to establish first lexical-semantic representations. The present study investigated the sensitivity to phonotactic regularities and its impact on semantic processing in 1-year-olds. We applied the method of event-re...
