Theories of sentence production based on speech errors divide lexical-syntactic integration p ro cesses into two components. The first involves formulating an abstract structural representation that includes semantically specified lexical items. The second involves placing phonologically specified content words into a syntactic frame whose configuration is determined by the initial structural r...

This chapter is concerned with how the ability of speakers and writers to produce syntactic structures is constrained by contextual and interactional factors. During language production we are often faced with a choice between syntactic alternatives. These syntactic alternatives are different in terms of their surface structure while being very similar in meaning, for example: an active versus ...

In two experiments, while event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded, participants named picture targets that were preceded by masked word primes that corresponded either to the name of the picture target or to an unrelated picture name. Experiment 1 showed significant priming effects in the ERP waveforms, free from articulator artifact, starting as early as 200 msec post target onset. Possi...

Munc13s are presynaptic proteins that mediate synaptic vesicle priming and thereby control the size of the readily releasable pool of vesicles. During high synaptic activity, Munc13-1 and its closely related homolog, ubMunc13-2, bind Ca(2+)/calmodulin, resulting in enhanced priming activity and in changes of short-term synaptic plasticity characteristics. Here, we studied whether bMunc13-2 and ...

The genus AnthemisL. (Asteraceae) as medicinal plants are used both for pharmaceutical purposes and in folk medicine. In order to study of seed priming effects on seedling growth of two species of Anthemis spp., an factorial experiment based on randomized complete design with three replications was conducted under greenhouse conditions in Research Institute of Forests...

Priming tekniği, tohumun ekim öncesinde su veya düşük ozmotik potansiyele sahip çözelti içerisinde belirli bir süre ve sıcaklık altında bekletilerek tekrar kurutulması esasına dayanır. uygulanan tohumlar kurutulduktan sonra direk ekilebilir priming uygulamalarının pragmatik etkilerini kaybetmemek suretiyle sıcaklıklarda uzun depolanabilir. Genel olarak en çok kullanılan teknikleri hidro-priming...

We frequently experience and successfully process anomalous utterances. Here we examine whether people do this by 'correcting' syntactic anomalies to yield well-formed representations. In two structural priming experiments, participants' syntactic choices in picture description were influenced as strongly by previously comprehended anomalous (missing-verb) prime sentences as by well-formed prim...

It has been debated whether object recognition depends on structural or view-specific representations. This issue is revisited here using a paradigm of priming, supervised category learning, and generalization to novel viewpoints. Results show that structural representations can be learned for three-dimensional (3D) objects lacking generalized-cone components (geons). Metric relations between o...
