Mapping from sound to meaning: reduced lexical activation in Broca's aphasics.
Recent studies of lexical access in Broca's aphasics suggest that lexical activation levels are reduced in these patients. The present study compared the performance of Broca's aphasics with that of normal subjects in an auditory semantic priming paradigm. Lexical decision times were measured in response to word targets preceded by an intact semantically related prime word ("cat"-"dog"), by a r...
متن کاملMeaning, Sound, and Syntax: Lexical Priming in Sentence Production
Theories of sentence production based on speech errors divide lexical-syntactic integration p ro cesses into two components. The first involves formulating an abstract structural representation that includes semantically specified lexical items. The second involves placing phonologically specified content words into a syntactic frame whose configuration is determined by the initial structural r...
متن کاملAcquiring the Mapping from Meaning to Sounds
One of the fundamental di culties facing a child trying to acquire a language is that the association between meanings and sounds is for the most part an arbitrary one. In this work, we model this process using a recurrent neural network that is trained to map a set of plan vectors, representing meaning, to associated sequences of phonemes, representing the phonological structure of the surface...
متن کاملLexical activation by assimilated and reduced tokens
Running speech contains abundant assimilated and phonologically reduced tokens, but there is considerable debate about how such varied pronunciations disrupt access to the corresponding words in listeners’ mental lexicons. While previous studies have examined the effects of carefully produced or electronically edited reductions, we present two experiments which compare cross-modal repetition pr...
متن کاملDoes Word Identification Proceed From Spelling to Sound to Meaning?
Six experiments addressed the role of phonological information in visual word recognition using a semantic-decision task. Experiment 1 replicated Van Orden's (1987) finding that Ss make more false-positive errors on homophone foils than on spelling controls, indicating phonological activation of meaning. Experiment 2 showed that only lower frequency words yield this effect when broader categori...
