Psycholinguistic Experiments in 3 D

Tasks and timing in the perception of linguistic anomaly.

Three experiments were conducted to investigate the relative timing of syntactic and pragmatic anomaly detection during sentence processing. Experiment 1 was an eye movement study. Experiment 2 employed a dual-task paradigm with compressed speech input, to put the processing routines under time pressure. Experiment 3 used compressed speech input in an anomaly monitoring task. The outcomes of th...

The allocation of memory resources during sentence comprehension: evidence from the elderly.

Two experiments were carried out to examine the ability of elderly subjects to establish syntactically governed dependency relations during the course of sentence comprehension. The findings reveal the manner in which memory constraints operate during syntactic processing.

Orthographic neighbors and visual word recognition.

Two lexical decision experiments, using words that were selected and closely matched on several criteria associated with lexical access provide evidence of facilitatory effects of orthographic neighborhood size and no significant evidence of inhibitory effects of orthographic neighborhood frequency on lexical access. The words used in Experiment 1 had few neighbors that were higher in frequency...
