The Book Dog and Semiotic Resources in Envisionment Building of a Text WorldJournal of Psycholinguistic Research - Tập 48 - Trang 535-550 - 2018
Ewa Bergh Nestlog, Helene Ehriander
The Linnaeus University project “The Book Dog and Astrid Lindgren” seeks to bring children and literature together and to use the dog as a tool for this. The method involves children reading aloud to trained dogs, called book dogs. By studying the practice of the book dog, we seek more profound knowledge of the importance of the reading practice for children’s reading. Such knowledge can have dida...... hiện toàn bộ
Using Sarcasm to Compliment: Context, Intonation, and the Perception of Statements with a Negative Literal MeaningJournal of Psycholinguistic Research - Tập 45 - Trang 615-624 - 2015
Daniel Voyer, Janie P. Vu
The present study extended findings of contrast effects in an auditory sarcasm perception task manipulating context and tone of voice. In contrast to previous research that had used sarcastic and sincere statements with a positive literal meaning, the present experiment examined how statements with a negative literal meaning would affect the results. Eighty-four undergraduate students completed a ...... hiện toàn bộ
The relationship between the frequency and the processing complexity of linguistic structureJournal of Psycholinguistic Research - Tập 25 - Trang 59-92 - 1996
Edward Gibson, Carson T. Schütze, Ariel Salomon
In this paper the relative frequencies of the possible resolutions of ambiguities involving noun phrase attachment sites are compared to the results of off-line psycholinguistic measurements of syntactic complexity. A lack of correlation between the two is observed. It is therefore argued that the comprehension system is distinct from what is driving the frequencies in the corpora. A production h...... hiện toàn bộ
Subvocal motor activity and contextual processingJournal of Psycholinguistic Research - Tập 13 - Trang 177-193 - 1984
Steven G. Zecker, Michael K. Tanenhaus, Alan G. Glaros, R. Douglas Whitman
Twenty male and female subjects listened for mispronounced words while minimizing either subvocal or frontalis electromyographic activity. Stimuli were varied on size of the distortion, lexical constraint, and contextual constraint, all known to influence detections. Analysis of both the reaction time and detection data indicated that the minimization of subvocal EMG activity reduced or eliminated...... hiện toàn bộ
Language versus logic: Responses to misleading classificatory questionsJournal of Psycholinguistic Research - Tập 16 - Trang 311-327 - 1987
Gerald A. Winer, L. Kaye Rasnake, David A. Smith
In this study we examined responses to apparent forced-choice questions in which two choices were presented as options and both were correct. The responses suggested by these questions were in conflict with responses based on simple classificatory logic. The results showed that adults, as well as children, were easily misled by the implication of the questions and there was no consistent evidence ...... hiện toàn bộ
Do Irrelevant Sounds Impair the Maintenance of All Characteristics of Speech in Memory?Journal of Psycholinguistic Research - Tập 41 - Trang 475-486 - 2012
D. Gabriel, E. Gaudrain, G. Lebrun-Guillaud, F. Sheppard, I. M. Tomescu, A. Schnider
Several studies have shown that maintaining in memory some attributes of speech, such as the content or pitch of an interlocutor’s message, is markedly reduced in the presence of background sounds made of spectrotemporal variations. However, experimental paradigms showing this interference have only focused on one attribute of speech at a time, and thus differ from real-life situations in which se...... hiện toàn bộ
The Role of the Valence, Arousing Properties and Subjective Significance of Subliminally Presented Words in Affective PrimingJournal of Psycholinguistic Research - Tập 52 - Trang 33-56 - 2021
Kamil Imbir, Maciej Pastwa, Magdalena Walkowiak
In the verbal affective priming paradigm, the properties of a subliminally presented stimulus alter the interpretation of neutral target stimulus. In the experiment reported here, we tested the role of four factors (valence, origin, arousing properties and subjective significance) that determine the emotional reactions to words in affective priming. Subliminal masked presentation of words preceded...... hiện toàn bộ
