Dahan, Delphine – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
The present study examined the role of hedges in a referential communication task. Pairs of participants received an identical set of cards, each card displaying a geometric configuration (a "tangram"). One participant, the director, instructed their partner, the matcher, to reproduce a series of predetermined tangram sequences using…

Matthew W. Lowder; Adrian Zhou; Peter C. Gordon – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
"Hospital" can refer to a physical place or more figuratively to the people associated with it. Such place-for-institution metonyms are common in everyday language, but there remain several open questions in the literature regarding how they are processed. The goal of the current eyetracking experiments was to investigate how metonyms…

Savic, Olivera; Unger, Layla; Sloutsky, Vladimir M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Human word learning is remarkable: We not only learn thousands of words but also form organized semantic networks in which words are interconnected according to meaningful links, such as those between "apple," "juicy," and "pear." These links play key roles in our abilities to use language. How do words become…

Bhatia, Sudeep – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
This article examines how semantic memory processes influence the items that are considered by decision makers in memory-based preferential choice. Experiments 1A through 1C ask participants to list the choice items that come to their minds while deliberating in a variety of everyday choice settings. These experiments use semantic space models to…

Tobar-Henríquez, Anita; Rabagliati, Hugh; Branigan, Holly P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Language use is intrinsically variable, such that the words we use vary widely across speakers and communicative situations. For instance, we can call the same entity "refrigerator" or "fridge." However, attempts to understand individual differences in how we process language have made surprisingly little progress, perhaps…

Tippenhauer, Nicholas; Fourakis, Eva R.; Watson, Duane G.; Lew-Williams, Casey – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
When communicating with other people, adults reduce or lengthen words based on their predictability, frequency, and discourse status. But younger listeners have less experience than older listeners in processing speech variation across time. In 2 experiments, we tested whether English-speaking parents reduce word durations differently across…

Yifei Gong; Klavs Hansen; Jianlin Chen – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Despite the worldwide prevalence of multilingualism, the knowledge of the relationship between domain-general cognitive control and multilingual language control remains scant. Here we provide new insights into this issue by examining systematically how different components of inhibitory control (i.e., response inhibition and interference…

Muraki, Emiko J.; Pexman, Penny M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
In embodied theories of semantic representation, the processes and mechanisms of modal simulations that are engaged during semantic processing have tended to be underspecified. We investigated the possibility that motor imagery may be a mechanism of simulation, using an individual differences approach. In this preregistered study, we assessed…

Li, Chuchu; Gollan, Tamar H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
The current study investigated the hypothesis that cognates (i.e., translation equivalents that overlap in form, e.g., "lemon" is "limón" in Spanish) facilitate language switches. Spanish-English bilinguals were cued to switch languages while repeatedly naming pictures with cognate versus noncognate names in separate…

Lavric, Aureliu; Clapp, Amanda; East, Antonia; Elchlepp, Heike; Monsell, Stephen – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
A key index of top-down control in task switching--preparation for a switch--is underexplored in language switching. The well-documented EEG "signature" of preparation for a task switch--a protracted positive-polarity modulation over the posterior scalp--has thus far not been reported in language switching, and the interpretation of…

Beatty-Martínez, Anne L.; Navarro-Torres, Christian A.; Dussias, Paola E.; Bajo, María Teresa; Guzzardo Tamargo, Rosa E.; Kroll, Judith F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Proficient bilinguals use two languages actively, but the contexts in which they do so may differ dramatically. The present study asked what consequences the contexts of language use hold for the way in which cognitive resources modulate language abilities. Three groups of speakers were compared, all of whom were highly proficient Spanish-English…

Hintz, Florian; Jongman, Suzanne R.; Dijkhuis, Marjolijn; van 't Hoff, Vera; McQueen, James M.; Meyer, Antje S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Lexical access is a core component of word processing. In order to produce or comprehend a word, language users must access word forms in their mental lexicon. However, despite its involvement in both tasks, previous research has often studied lexical access in either production or comprehension alone. Therefore, it is unknown to which extent…

Lipinski, John; Schneegans, Sebastian; Sandamirskaya, Yulia; Spencer, John P.; Schoner, Gregor – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
We propose a neural dynamic model that specifies how low-level visual processes can be integrated with higher level cognition to achieve flexible spatial language behaviors. This model uses real-word visual input that is linked to relational spatial descriptions through a neural mechanism for reference frame transformations. We demonstrate that…

Woltz, Dan J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
Three experiments investigated facilitation in synonym decisions as a function of prior synonym decision trials that were either identical or semantically related. Experiment 1 demonstrated that semantically related prime trials produced less facilitation than identical prime trials, but facilitation from both persisted over 14 intervening trials.…

Oganian, Y.; Korn, C. W.; Heekeren, H. R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Recent studies reported reductions of well-established biases in decision making under risk, such as the framing effect, during foreign language (FL) use. These modulations were attributed to the use of FL itself, which putatively entails an increase in emotional distance. A reduced framing effect in this setting, however, might also result from…
