Zusammenfassung: In zwei Experimenten wurden mit einer lexikalischen Entscheidungsaufgabe und Buchstabenerkennungsaufgaben die Leistungen von hörenden und gehörlosen Versuchspersonen bei der visuellen Buchstaben- und Worterkennung untersucht. Im ...
The FRAG as a Computerized Diagnostic Test to Assess Visual Word RecognitionAbstract: The computerized word fragmentation test FRAG is commonly used in cognitive psychology to assess perceptual-attentive (bottom-up) and lexical (top-down) processes ...
Process-oriented Assessment of Reading Skills in Primary School ChildrenFrom a cognitive perspective, reading skills depend on efficient component processes of reading comprehension on the word, sentence and text level. In this article, we present the ...
Hemispheric asymmetries in repetition priming and associative primingAbstract. This study investigated hemispheric asymmetries in repetition priming (Experiment 1) and associative priming (Experiment 2) in visual word recognition. Participants performed ...
Preactivation of particular content categories in memory yields latency differences in a visual recognition task. Two Internet studies demonstrate this content category superiority effect (CCSE). Target words are repeatedly flashed for 400 ms and then ...
Zusammenfassung. Die Wirkung alternierender Schreibung auf Benennungen und lexikalische Entscheidungen wurde im Hinblick auf die Frage untersucht, inwieweit die Störungen alle Wörter gleichermaßen oder insbesondere seltene Wörter betreffen. Im Gegensatz ...
Abstract. Masked priming has long been used to demonstrate the impact of brief presentations of orthographically related stimuli on visual word recognition. The aim of the present study was to examine neural correlates of orthographic priming produced by ...
Abstract. The priming effect of pseudohomophones was assessed in reading and naming tasks. In two experiments using the fast priming paradigm in reading, there were no pseudohomophone priming effects when the prime duration was 32, 44, or 56 ms from the ...
One key issue for any computational model of visual word recognition is the choice of an input coding scheme for assigning letter position. Recent research has shown that transposed-letter similarity effects occur even when the transposed letters are not ...
Transposing two internal letters of a word produces a perceptually similar item (e.g., CHOLOCATE being processed as CHOCOLATE). To determine the precise nature of the encoding of letter position within a word, we examined the effect of the number of ...
Recent studies show that emotional stimuli impair the identification of subsequently presented, briefly flashed stimuli. In the present study, we investigated whether emotional distractors (primes) impaired target processing when presentation of the ...
Previous studies (e.g., Pecher, Zeelenberg, & Wagenmakers, 2005) found that semantic classification performance is better for target words with orthographic neighbors that are mostly from the same semantic class (e.g., living) compared to target words ...
We review recent evidence indicating that researchers in experimental psychology may have used suboptimal estimates of word frequency. Word frequency measures should be based on a corpus of at least 20 million words that contains language participants in ...
A word-spotting experiment is reported whereby participants determined whether a polysyllabic pseudoword began with a real word or not. All target words ended in a single consonant (e.g., slam) which either did or did not form a complex coda with the ...
Abstract. Semantic and syntactic prediction effects were investigated in a word naming task using semantic or syntactic contexts that varied between three and six words. Participants were asked to read the contexts ...
