Different Loci of Semantic Interference in Picture Naming vs. Word-Picture Matching Tasks

Naming pictures and matching words to pictures belonging to the same semantic category impairs performance relative to when stimuli come from different semantic categories (i.e., semantic interference). Despite similar semantic interference phenomena in both picture naming and word-picture matching tasks, the locus of interference has been attributed to different levels of the language system -...

A Novel Picture Coding Using Colorization Technique

Colorization is a computerized process of adding color to a black and white print, movie and TV program. The authors have proposed automatic colorization algorithms by giving a partial color to a monochrome image. This paper focuses on the colorization process which can produce a color image from a monochrome image with a small number of color pixels, and proposes a novel color image coding alg...

Locus of semantic interference in picture-word interference tasks.

Picture-word interference studies typically show that semantically related distractor words embedded within a picture slow picture-naming responses, relative to unrelated ones. This semantic interference effect is commonly interpreted as arising from the competition of lexical-semantic (e.g., Schriefers, Meyer, & Levelt, 1990) or lexical-phonological (e.g., Starreveld & La Heij, 1996) codes. Th...

TRANSLATING CULTURAL SIGNS IN CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOKS

Every happening in one's life may be regarded by her/him as a leading phenomenon to other happenings. This leading phenomenon which can anticipate the subsequent happenings is called SIGN. Signs are unique for every group of human being and hence culture-specific. This is even true for every individual. Signs permeate in every aspect of universe. Among these fields, children's literature is stu...
