Current models of word production offer different accounts of the representation of homophones in the lexicon. The investigation of how the homophone status of a word affects lexical access can be used to test theories of lexical processing. In this study, homophones appeared as word distractors superimposed on pictures that participants named orally. The authors varied distractor frequency, a ...

The introduction of complex land surface parameterization schemes into regional climate models (RCMs) has been focused on improving the modeling of land surface feedbacks to the atmosphere. As such the modeling of streamflow was considered a by-product of the water balance and until recently it received relatively little attention. Comparison of four RCMs (RegCM2, MM5/BATS, MM5/SHEELS and MM5/O...

This paper is a continuation of the work initiated in [2] by M. Luby andC. Rackoff on Feistel schemes used as pseudorandom permutation generators.The aim of this paper is to study the qualitative improvements of “strong pseu-dorandomness” of the Luby-Rackoff construction when the number of roundsincrease. We prove that for 6 rounds (or more), the success probability of the<l...

Abstract Spelling has been found to be influenced by the frequency with which certain orthographic patterns occur. We examined whether Grades 2–5 children were already sensitive in spelling present tense verb inflections that sound same but are spelled differently. Children asked spell tenses two homophonous forms; both pronounced final /t/ -d (“ik vind,” I find ) or -dt (“hij/zij vindt,” he/sh...

A. Caramazza, A. Costa, M. Miozzo, and Y. Bi (2001) reported a series of experiments showing that naming latencies for homophones are determined by specific-word frequency (e.g., frequency of nun) and not homophone frequency (frequency of nun + none). J. D. Jescheniak, A. S. Meyer, and W. J. M. Levelt (2003) have challenged these studies on a variety of grounds. Here we argue that these critici...
