Putting lexical constraints in context into the visual-world paradigm.
Prior eye-tracking studies of spoken sentence comprehension have found that the presence of two potential referents, e.g., two frogs, can guide listeners toward a Modifier interpretation of Put the frog on the napkin... despite strong lexical biases associated with Put that support a Goal interpretation of the temporary ambiguity (Tanenhaus, M. K., Spivey-Knowlton, M. J., Eberhard, K. M. & Sedi...
متن کاملInterlingual lexical competition in a spoken sentence context: evidence from the visual world paradigm.
We used the visual world paradigm to examine interlingual lexical competition when Dutch-English bilinguals listened to low-constraining sentences in their nonnative (L2; Experiment 1) and native (L1; Experiment 2) languages. Additionally, we investigated the influence of the degree of cross-lingual phonological similarity. When listening in L2, participants fixated more on competitor pictures ...

Literature assumes that negation is more difficult to understand than affirmation, but this might depend on the pragmatic context. The goal of this paper is to show that pragmatic knowledge modulates the unfolding processing of negation due to the previous activation of the negated situation. To test this, we used the visual world paradigm. In this task, we presented affirmative (e.g., her dad ...

Research in semantic memory has traditionally taken this "static" perspective. Consequently, only effects demonstrated across a ...
متن کاملPutting Cells into Context
CELLS LIVE IN A COMPLEX WORLD It may sound blatantly obvious, but we have to remind ourselves occasionally that in vivo cells experience an environment with a level of complexity far beyond experimental reach. The developing organism is a highly complex system, where each cell receives a multitude of cues of diverse nature at any given time point. Only the comprehensive integration of all these...
