Confusion Patterns and Response Bias in Spoken Word Recognition of German Disyllabic Words and Nonwords
نویسنده
چکیده
The abundant research on lexical access in the last 30 years has shown that context effects such as lexical status, morphological complexity, and neighborhood density can affect word recognition. Very little research has investigated interactions between perceptual distinctiveness and context effects. This study used a spoken word recognition in noise experiment with German words and nonwords to research this interaction. Results showed a processing advantage for monomorphemic words over bimorphemic words, and that listeners are particularly sensitive to morphological information when presented with highly confusable stimuli.

Spoken word recognition in context: evidence from Chinese ERP analyses.
Two event-related potential (ERP) experiments were conducted to investigate spoken word recognition in Chinese and the effect of contextual constraints on this process. In Experiment 1, three kinds of incongruous words were formed by altering the first, second or both syllables of the congruous disyllabic terminal words in high constraint spoken sentences. Results showed an increase of N400 amp...
متن کاملPhonotactics: a Review
Probabilistic phonotactics refers to the relative frequencies of segments and sequences of segments in spoken words. Neighborhood density refers to the number of words that are phonologically similar to a given word. Despite a positive correlation between phonotactic probability and neighborhood density, nonsense words with high probability segments and sequences are responded to more quickly t...

This study investigated whether English speakers retained the lexical stress patterns of newly learned Spanish words. Participants studied spoken Spanish words (e.g., DUcha [shower], ciuDAD [city]; stressed syllables in capital letters) and subsequently performed a recognition task, in which studied words were presented with the same lexical stress pattern (DUcha) or the opposite lexical stress...

Previous research with artificial language learning paradigms has shown that infants are sensitive to statistical cues to word boundaries (Saffran, Aslin &Newport, 1996) and that they can use these cues to extract word-like units (Saffran, 2001).However, it is unknown whether infants use statistical information to construct a receptive lexicon when acquiring their native language. In order to i...
