Lexical representation explains cortical entrainment during speech perception
Results from a recent neuroimaging study on spoken sentence comprehension have been interpreted as evidence for cortical entrainment to hierarchical syntactic structure. We present a simple computational model that predicts the power spectra from this study, even though the model’s linguistic knowledge is restricted to the lexical level, and word-level representations are not combined into high...
متن کاملNon-syntactic Processing Explains Cortical Entrainment During Speech Perception
There is considerable debate on the precise role of hierarchical syntactic structure during the comprehension of sentences, with some arguing that a full hierarchical analysis is required for comprehension (e.g., Ding, Melloni, Tian, & Poeppel, 2017) and others claiming that non-hierarchical processing is more common (e.g., Frank, Bod, & Christiansen, 2012). Ding, Melloni, Zhang, Tian, and Poep...
متن کاملReal-time lexical competitions during speech-in-speech comprehension
This study investigates speech comprehension in competing multi-talker babble. We examined the effects of number of simultaneous talkers and of frequency of words in the babble on lexical decision to target words. Results revealed better performance at a low talker number (n = 2). Importantly, frequency of words in the babble significantly affected performance: high frequency word babble interf...
متن کاملLexical Competition in Nonnative Speech Comprehension
Electrophysiological studies consistently find N400 effects of semantic incongruity in nonnative (L2) language comprehension. These N400 effects are often delayed compared with native (L1) comprehension, suggesting that semantic integration in one's second language occurs later than in one's first language. In this study, we investigated whether such a delay could be attributed to (1) intraling...
متن کاملPhonetic and lexical interferences in informational masking during speech-in-speech comprehension
This study investigates masking effects occurring during speech comprehension in the presence of concurrent speech signals. We examined the differential effects of acoustic–phonetic and lexical content of 4to 8-talker babble (natural speech) or babble-like noise (reversed speech) on word identification. Behavioral results show a monotonic decrease in speech comprehension rates with an increasin...
