Researchers have found no agreement on whether dual-task interference in language performance, such as dual-task interference from tone discrimination on picture naming, reflects passive queuing or active scheduling of processes for each task. According to a passive-queuing account, while a central response-selection bottleneck is occupied by the tone discrimination task, picture naming is held...

Functional brain imaging studies have improved our knowledge of the neural localization of language functions and the functional reorganization after a lesion. However, the neural correlates of agrammatic symptoms in aphasia remain largely unknown. The present fMRI study examined the neural correlates of morpho-syntactic encoding and agrammatic errors in continuous language production by combin...

Abstract Background Several recent studies have used automated linguistic analysis of naturalistic speech in a picture‐description task (e.g. Cookie Theft) combined with machine learning approaches to distinguish the those dementia from healthy age‐matched controls. Extension these techniques predict continuous variables related cognitive status offers means track severity over time and evaluat...

The effect of error feedback on the accuracy of output task types such as editing task, text reconstruction task, picture cued writing task, and dictogloss task, has not been clearly explored. Following arguments concerning that the combination of both corrective feedback and output makes it difficult to determine whether their effects were in combination or alone, the purpose of the present st...

Picture-word interference refers to the fact that when a picture (Le.,line drawing) is presented with a word superimposed, picture naming latency is longer than when the picture is presented alone. In addition, naming latency will be further prolonged whenever the word and the picture are members of the same semantic category. This semantic interference effect was investigated in a series of st...

Abstract Spanish monolingual speakers often produce recipient ( Pedro le da un lápiz a María ) and nonrecipient constructions Antonio lava la camiseta Carmen doubled by dative clitic. Second language heritage usually avoid clitics. This study examined whether structural priming could effectively increase the production of clitics in N = 23), L2 28), 24). Participants completed baseline that mea...

This paper aims to determine whether iconic tracing gestures produced while speaking constitute part of the speaker’s communicative intention. We used a picture description task in which speakers must communicate the spatial and color information of each picture to an interlocutor. By establishing the necessary minimal content of an intended message, we determined whether speech produced with c...

The study evaluated the connectedness of spontaneous speech production in individuals with dementia as a potential predictor severity. Data were derived from baseline sample 143 English Pitt corpus. Dementia severity was assessed via Mini Mental Status Exam, Mattis Rating Scale, and Blessed Scale. Language abilities using verbal fluency picture description tasks. Graph analysis carried out for ...
