Characterizing spoken responses in masked-onset priming of reading aloud using articulography

Reading aloud in Persian: ERP evidence for an early locus of the masked onset priming effect.

The current study investigates reading aloud words in Persian, a language that does not mark all its vowels in the script. Behaviorally, a masked onset priming effect (MOPE) was revealed for transparent words, with faster speech onset latencies in the phoneme-matching condition (i.e. phonological prime and target onset overlap; e.g. [symbol: see text] /sɒːl/; 'year' [symbol: see text] /sot/; 'v...

Phonological Encoding in Reading Aloud Persian: ERP Evidence for the Phonological Basis of the Masked Onset Priming Effect

The current study investigates reading aloud (i.e. pronouncing) words in Persian, a language that omits some of its vowels in its script. A word reading task employing a masked priming paradigm did not yield any differences in speech onset latencies between an onset-matching and an onset-mismatching condition. However, eventrelated potentials (ERPs) did reveal a difference in amplitude between ...

Priming lexical stress in reading Italian aloud

Masked primes activate feature representations in reading aloud.

Theories of reading aloud are silent about the role of subphonemic/subsegmental representations in translating print to sound. However, there is empirical evidence suggesting that feature representations are activated in speech production and visual word recognition. In the present study, we sought to determine whether masked primes activate feature representations in reading aloud using a vari...

Transposed-letter priming effects in reading aloud words and nonwords.

A masked nonword prime generated by transposing adjacent inner letters in a word (e.g., jugde) facilitates the recognition of the target word (JUDGE) more than a prime in which the relevant letters are replaced by different letters (e.g., junpe). This transposed-letter (TL) priming effect has been widely interpreted as evidence that the coding of letter position is flexible, rather than precise...
