Does reading change with age? A review of aging effects on visual word recognitionAbstract.Background: Reading is a highly automized, complex mental process that, once acquired, functions efficiently for most people. Text comprehension as well as ...
Wordform memory as intuitive statistics in languages with different consistencyAbstract. The results of a series of experiments on the functioning of the wordform memory in different languages are summarized in the light of nonlinear, dynamical computer ...
Factor analysis of 57 variables in visual word recognitionAbstract. Based on current models in visual word recognition 57 variables were selected that influence performance in lexical decision and naming tasks and are connected to effects of frequency, ...
Abstract. Coloring only a single letter in the Stroop task can result in a reduction or elimination of Stroop interference. The present experiments were designed to test whether this modulation of Stroop interference occurs at all letter positions. ...
Abstract. Three masked priming experiments investigated the effects of target word length and number of inserted letters on superset priming, where irrelevant letters are added to targets to form prime stimuli (e.g., tanble-table). Effects of one, two, ...
During the last two decades, bilingual research has adopted the masked translation priming paradigm as a tool to investigate the architecture of the bilingual language system. Although there is now a consensus about the existence of forward translation ...
Many models of word recognition predict a lexical ambiguity disadvantage in semantic categorization tasks (SCTs). However, recent evidence suggests that an ambiguity disadvantage in SCT results from a bias in the decision-making phase of the task and not ...
Open-bigram and spatial-coding schemes provide different accounts of how letter position is encoded by the brain during visual word recognition. Open-bigram coding involves an explicit representation of order based on letter pairs, while spatial coding ...
Abstract. Most words in books and digital media are written in lowercase. The primacy of this format has been brought out by different experiments showing that common words are identified faster in lowercase (e.g., molecule) than in ...
