Yixuan Song; Jiexin Gu; Siqi Song; Xiuwei Quan – Annals of Dyslexia, 2025
In the realm of logographic writing systems, such as Chinese characters, orthographic transparency fundamentally differs from alphabetic languages, posing unique challenges for individuals with developmental dyslexia (DD). This study employed event-related potentials (ERPs) and a masked priming paradigm to investigate how Chinese children with DD…

Jiuzhou Hao; Vasiliki Chondrogianni; Patrick Sturt – Journal of Child Language, 2025
The present study investigated whether children's difficulty with non-canonical structures is due to their non-adult-like use of linguistic cues or their inability to revise misinterpretations using late-arriving cues. We adopted a priming production task and a self-paced listening task with picture verification, and included three Mandarin…

Boissicat, Natacha; Fayant, Marie-Pierre; Nurra, Cécile; Muller, Dominique – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Background: Social comparisons between pupils are especially relevant at school. Such comparisons influence self-perception and performance. When pupils evaluate themselves more negatively and perform worse after an upward comparison (with a better off pupil) than a downward comparison (with a worse-off pupil), this is a contrast effect. On the…

John N. Williams; Yuyan Xue – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
Is it possible to acquire a sensitivity to a regularity in language without intending to and without awareness of what it is? In this conceptual replication and extension of an earlier study (Williams, 2005) participants were trained on a semiartificial language in which determiner choice was dependent on noun animacy. Participants who did not…

Hamid R. Hamidnia; Hamed Habibzadeh; Zohreh Gharaei – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
The present study investigated the effect of verbal working memory capacity (VWMC) on the processing of semantic information during on-line lexical ambiguity resolution of bilinguals. Seventeen Persian-English subordinate bilinguals of similar proficiency level were recruited to perform two experimental tasks: (1) a multi-load-level reading span…

Lelonkiewicz; Gary Lupyan; Whitney Mendenhall; David Moreau; Christina Schonberg; Christian K. Tamnes; Haley Vlach; Emily M. Elliott – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2025
Though verbal rehearsal is a frequently endorsed strategy for remembering short lists among adults, there is ambiguity around when children deploy it, and what circumstantial factors encourage them to rehearse. We recoded data from a recent multilab replication of a serial picture memory task in which children were observed for evidence of…

Kinoshita, Sachiko; Liong, Gabrielle – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Unlike other visual objects which are invariant to the left-right orientation, mirror letters (e.g., b and d) represent different object identities. Previous masked priming lexical decision studies have suggested that the identification of a mirror letter involves suppression of its mirror image counterpart reporting as evidence that a pseudoword…

Stephen J. Lupker; Giacomo Spinelli – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Rastle et al. (2004) reported that true (e.g., walker) and pseudo (e.g., corner) multi-morphemic words prime their stem words more than form controls do (e.g., brothel priming BROTH) in a masked priming lexical decision task. This data pattern has led a number of models to propose that both of the former word types are "decomposed" into…

Varga, Vera; Tóth, Dénes; Csépe, Valéria – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2022
Skilled reading is thought to rely on well-specified lexical representations that compete during visual word recognition. The establishment of these lexical representations is assumed to be driven by phonology. To test the role of phonology, we examined the prime lexicality effect (PLE), the index of lexical competition in signing deaf (N = 28)…

Campos, Ana Duarte; Oliveira, Helena Mendes; Soares, Ana Paula – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Reading is one of the most important milestones a child achieves throughout development. Above the letter level, the syllable has been shown to play a relevant role at early stages of visual word recognition in adult skilled readers. However, studies aiming to examine when, during reading acquisition, the syllable emerges as a functional…

Coumel, Marion; Ushioda, Ema; Messenger, Katherine – Language Learning, 2023
We examined whether input modality and individual differences in attention and motivation influence second language (L2) learning via syntactic priming. In an online study, we compared the primed production of English passives by 235 L2 and native English speakers in reading-to-writing versus listening-to-writing conditions. We measured immediate…

Oguz, Enis; Kirkici, Bilal – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
The processing of morphologically complex words has been studied in many languages, leading to a variety of theoretical accounts. Prime type, individual differences, and cross-linguistic effects have emerged as potential factors in morphological processing, but the findings so far have been inconclusive, especially for young children. This study…

Peel, Hayden J.; Royals, Kayla A.; Chouinard, Philippe A. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
It is widely assumed that subliminal word priming is case insensitive and that a short SOA (< 100 ms) is required to observe any effects. Here we attempted to replicate results from an influential study with the inclusion of a longer SOA to re-examine these assumptions. Participants performed a semantic categorisation task on visible word…

Matthew Kimble; Jennifer Koide; William F. Flack – Journal of American College Health, 2024
Objective: The goal of this study was to assess students' responses to a potentially triggering passage from literature using differing trigger warnings. Participants and Method: 123 undergraduates read a passage which contained depictions of physical and sexual assault. Students were randomly assigned to differing trigger warning conditions prior…

Marion Coumel; Merel Muylle; Katherine Messenger; Robert J. Hartsuiker – Language Learning, 2024
We tested whether second language (L2) learners rely more on explicit memory during structural priming at lower than at higher proficiency levels (Hartsuiker & Bernolet, 2017). We compared within-L2 priming with lexical overlap in 100 low and 100 high proficiency French L2 speakers under low versus high working memory load conditions induced…
