The dual-route model of speech processing includes a dorsal stream that maps auditory to motor features at the sublexical level rather than at the lexico-semantic level. However, the literature on gesture is an invitation to revise this model because it suggests that the premotor cortex of the dorsal route is a major site of lexico-semantic interaction. Here we investigated lexico-semantic mapp...

Words with irregular spelling-sound correspondences are read aloud more slowly than words with regular spelling-sound correspondences. This so-called regularity effect is modulated by word frequency, with low-frequency words showing larger costs than do high-frequency words. Because French has more regular spelling-to-sound correspondences than English, we expected a different pattern in French...

We present a new class of neural network models of reading aloud based on Sejnowski & Rosenberg’s NETtalk. Unlike previous models, they are not restricted to mono-syllabic words, require no complicated inputoutput representations such as Wickelfeatures and require no preprocessing to align the letters and phonemes in the training data. The best cases are able to achieve perfect performance on t...

In the classical Stroop effect, response times for naming the color in which a word is printed are affected by the presence of semantic, phonological, or orthographic relationships between the stimulus word and the response word. We show that color naming responses are faster when the printed word shares a phoneme with the color name to be produced than when it does not, in conditions where the...

The present study assessed the degree to which probabilistic reasoning performance and thinking style influenced perception of risk and self-reported levels of terrorism-related behavior change. A sample of 263 respondents, recruited via convenience sampling, completed a series of measures comprising probabilistic reasoning tasks (perception of randomness, base rate, probability, and conjunctio...

We present a dual-frequency shift scheme to produce chaos and beating in an erbium-doped fiber laser while we give this physics model including photo attenuator absorbing the photon, where absorption frequency of can be shifted, pump modulator shifting modulation frequency. It found that modulated produces chaos, beating, lot quasi-periodic states when both level are by modulator. Our numerical...
