On the nonautomaticity of visual word processing: electrophysiological evidence that word processing requires central attention.
The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to determine the degree to which people can process words while devoting central attention to another task. Experiments 1-4 measured the N400 effect, which is sensitive to the degree of mismatch between a word and the current semantic context. Experiment 5 measured the P3 difference between low- and high-frequency words. Because these effec...
متن کاملSwitching attention and resolving interference: fMRI measures of executive functions.
Is there a single executive process or are there multiple executive processes that work together towards the same goal in some task? In these experiments, we use counter switching and response inhibition tasks to examine the neural underpinnings of two cognitive processes that have often been identified as potential executive processes: the switching of attention between tasks, and the resoluti...
متن کاملLocus of semantic interference in picture-word interference tasks.
Picture-word interference studies typically show that semantically related distractor words embedded within a picture slow picture-naming responses, relative to unrelated ones. This semantic interference effect is commonly interpreted as arising from the competition of lexical-semantic (e.g., Schriefers, Meyer, & Levelt, 1990) or lexical-phonological (e.g., Starreveld & La Heij, 1996) codes. Th...
متن کاملSingle-word predictions of upcoming language during comprehension: Evidence from the cumulative semantic interference task.
Comprehenders predict upcoming speech and text on the basis of linguistic input. How many predictions do comprehenders make for an upcoming word? If a listener strongly expects to hear the word "sock", is the word "shirt" partially expected as well, is it actively inhibited, or is it ignored? The present research addressed these questions by measuring the "downstream" effects of prediction on t...
متن کاملAllocation of attention during auditory word learning
The deployment of selective attention has been studied in depth as a mechanism of visual categorization for decades. However, little work has investigated how attentional mechanisms operate for non-visual domains, and many models of categorization tacitly presume domain-general attention use. In three experiments, we investigated whether learners deploy attention to novel auditory features when...
