Recognition and interference of a nontarget language (Russian) during production in a target language (English) were tested in Russian-English bilinguals using eye movements and picture naming. In Experiment 1, Russian words drew more eye movements and delayed English naming to a greater extent than control nonwords and English translation equivalents. In Experiment 2, Russian words spelled usi...

Three automatic naming tasks (Wiig & Nielsen, 1999) were administered to 60 normally functioning adults. The mean time required for naming 40 single-dimension (colors, forms, numbers, and letters) and 40 dual-dimension stimuli (color-form, color-number, and color-letter combinations) were compared in young (17-38 yr.) and older (40-68 yr.) men and women. Analysis of variance for the combined gr...

ABSTRACT Purpose The main objective of the present study was to examine contribution rapid automatized naming (RAN) reading rate and text comprehension. We also analyzed whether performance on a task in first year schooling could be predictor future skill speed Methods Forty protocols with phonological processing skills assessments were analyzed, namely: naming, awareness working memory, as wel...

Background In early stages, individuals with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) report language symptoms while scoring within norm in formal tests. Early intervention is important due to the nature of disease.Method We a single-case study an individual logopenic variant PPA (lvPPA). tested whether letter fluency, used as therapy task, can improve lexical retrieval when combined tDCS either left ...

Purpose To foster effective implementation of building information modelling (BIM), it is guided by standards and protocols that require files naming in a format, containing string letters digits tightly defined manner, which perceived to be time-consuming, error-prone serves as barrier BIM adoption. This paper aims present BIM-based plug-in solution (Auto-BIMName) facilitates automated complia...

Letter names play an important role in early literacy. Previous studies of letter name learning have examined the Latin alphabet. The present study tested learners of Hebrew, comparing their patterns of performance and types of errors to those of English learners. We analyzed letter naming data from 645 Israeli children who had not begun formal reading instruction, a younger group (mean age 5 y...

The current study tested learners of Hebrew, comparing their patterns of performance and types of errors with those of English learners. We analyzed letter-naming data from 645 Israeli children who had not begun formal reading instruction: a younger group (mean age 5...

Most current models of word naming are restricted to processing monosyllabic words and pseudowords. This limitation stems from difficulties in representing the orthographic and phonological codes for words varying substantially in length. Sibley, Kello, Plaut, & Elman (2008) described an extension of the simple recurrent network architecture, called the sequence encoder, that learned orthograph...
