Memory and Levels of Processing in a Psycholinguistic Context
نویسندگان
چکیده
A levels of processing approach to memory was directly tested in a welldefined processing context by varying the depth to which spoken prose material could be processed. The effects of successively removing the semantic and the syntactic levels of analysis produced decrements in immediate recall that were structured according to the clausal segmentation of the material. The results corresponded closely to the joint predictions of a theory of sentence processing integrated with levels of processing memory theory.

Collocational Processing in Two Languages: A psycholinguistic comparison of monolinguals and bilinguals
With the renewed interest in the field of second language learning for the knowledge of collocating words, research findings in favour of holistic processing of formulaic language could support the idea that these language units facilitate efficient language processing. This study investigated the difference between processing of a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) of congruent col...

Fluency in a second language (L2) involves a quintessentially cognitive processing system that operates quickly and effectively. The perceived importance of researching fluency through a psycholinguistic lens has motivated the related L2 research to resort to current cognitive speaking-specific models. This study, drawing on Levelt’s (1999a) psycholinguistic model, probed the deficiency sources...

An interesting area of psycholinguistic inquiry is to discover the way morphological structures are stored in the human mind and how they are retrieved during comprehension or production of language. The current study probed into what goes on in the mind of EFL learners when processing derivational morphology and how English and Persian derivational suffixes are processed. 60 Iranian EFL learne...

Much interest has recently been directed toward the knowledge of collocations in the field of second language learning since they have been asserted to improve fluency. The current study was intended to examine the effect of verbal and visuospatial working memory spans on the processing of collocations using a Self-Pace Reading Task (SPRT) and relevant working memory tasks. To this end, partici...
