Words and pictures were studied and recognition tests given in which each studied object was to be recognized in both word and picture format. The main dependent variable was the latency of the recognition decision. The purpose was to investigate the effects of study modality (word or picture), of congruence between study and test modalities, and of priming resulting from repeated testing. Expe...

This study focuses on the description of argument structure and word order in Saudi Sign language (SSL). The nature syntactic level grammar SSL is clarified. Since often considered most important part grammar, this details various options that are available for major constituents (Subject, Verb, Object) independent any connection to spoken Arabic syntax. In SSL, like other languages, arguments ...

We extend the finding that word reading slows following successful responses to a color-word Stroop interference task (Masson, Bub, Woodward, & Chan, 2003). Word reading was assessed in a picture-word interference task in which subjects alternated between naming a picture (with either a word or a row of Xs superimposed on it) and reading a word. For the word-reading task, words were presented e...

Three dual-task experiments investigated the capacity demands of phoneme selection in picture naming. On each trial, participants named a target picture (Task 1) and carried out a tone discrimination task (Task 2). To vary the time required for phoneme selection, the authors combined the targets with phonologically related or unrelated distractor pictures (Experiment 1) or words, which were cle...

Reasoning in systems integrating Description Logics (DL) ontologies and Datalog rules is a very hard task, and previous studies have shown undecidability of reasoning in systems integrating (even very simple) DL ontologies with recursive Datalog. However, the results obtained so far constitute a very partial picture of the computational properties of systems combining DL ontologies and Datalog ...

Language alignment occurs when interlocutors mimic each other’s language. can happen as a result of priming, but may also be mediated by speakers’ beliefs about their interlocutor, including how language-proficient they believe the interlocutor to be. However, it is unknown whether bilingual speakers show such effects. In this study, participant and took turns labelling pictured objects. These ...

Abstract The picture-word task presents participants with a number of pictured objects together written distractor word superimposed upon each picture, and their is to name the depicted object while ignoring word. Depending on specific picture combination, various effects, including identity facilitation effect (e.g., DOG + dog ) semantic interference GOAT cow ), are often observed. response pa...
