Episodic memory reflected in printed word naming.

چکیده
Although memory is typically measured by recall or recognition, it is also expressed by fluent or stylized task performance. In this experiment, 12 volunteers (called speakers) completed four experimental stages over a 2-week period. They read printed words aloud in two sessions, before and after exposure to auditory training tokens. They later completed a recognition memory test, discriminating old from new words. Groups of perceptual judges assessed the speakers' vocal imitation by comparing utterances recorded before and after training and deciding which sounded like "better imitations" of the training tokens. The data showed clear evidence of postexposure imitation, with systematic effects that preclude strategic explanations. The contents of episodic memory were reflected by participants' speaking style while they were reading aloud. Together, the imitation and recognition data suggest that memory preserves detailed traces of spoken words; those traces were apparently activated when participants later read the same words in the same context.

Age-of-acquisition effects in word and picture identification.
Words and pictures with earlier learned labels are processed faster than words and pictures with later learned labels. This age-of-acquisition (AoA) effect has been extensively investigated in many different types of tasks. This article provides a review of these studies including picture naming, word naming, speeded word naming, word pronunciation durations, lexical decisions, eye fixation tim...
متن کاملNeural Correlates of Verbal Episodic Memory and Lexical Retrieval in Logopenic Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia
Objective: Logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) is commonly associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. But lvPPA patients display different cognitive and anatomical profile from the common clinical AD patients, whose verbal episodic memory is primarily affected. Reports of verbal episodic memory difficulty in lvPPA are inconsistent, and we hypothesized that their lexic...
متن کاملImplicit priming of picture naming: A theoretical and methodological note on the implicit priming task
The recently introduced implicit priming task (Meyer, 1990, 1991) for the study of word production processes has already provided an impressive number of findings which are taken as the main support for the principle of serial encoding in production. However, prior results can as well be explained by an episodic memory retrieval account which does not resource to production processes. In experi...
متن کاملOrthographic and phonological activation in auditory and visual word recognition.
A discrete-trial color naming (Stroop) paradigm was used to examine activation along orthographic and phonological dimensions in visual and auditory word recognition. Subjects were presented with a prime word, either auditorally or visually, followed 200 msec later by a target word printed in a color. The orthographic and phonological similarity of prime target pairs varied. Color naming latenc...
متن کاملImplicit learning of color-word associations using a Stroop paradigm.
Our experiments asked whether implicit learning occurs for novel nonverbal associations. We presented subjects with color names printed in incongruent colors; subjects were asked to name the color in which the word was printed. In Experiment 1, each of 7 color words were associated with the same incongruent color across 6 blocks of trials, and then the color-word associations were abruptly chan...
