Implementation of selective attention in sequential word production
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied changes to the pattern of speech errors as a function of selectively attending to one word in a sequence to learn how attention is implemented in language production. Three hypotheses were tested: (1) attention specifically inhibits the past, (2) attention enhances the activation of the present without affecting the past or the future, and (3) attention decreases priming of the future. In Experiment 1, using a model of sequential word production, we simulated the pattern of anticipatory and perseveratory errors on the attended words, and compared them to empirical error data. Our findings support a model in which attention only affects the present. Experiment 2 tested the prediction of this model regarding the error patterns on the word following the attended word. These results were also compatible with a transient enhancement in the activation of present that does not affect the production of the future words.

متن کاملSelective attention and speech errors: Feature migration in time
Studying speech errors has revealed much about the language production system. We believe it can also be used to investigate the interaction between the speech production and other systems, such as the executive system. This paper studies the effect of focusing attention on the production of a single word in a sequence. We present three experiments in which participants, while reciting four-wor...
