Does letter rotation slow down orthographic processing in word recognition?
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2018)
Leading neural models of visual word recognition assume that letter rotation slows down the conversion of the visual input to a stable orthographic representation (e.g., local detectors combination model; Dehaene, Cohen, ...
Deaf readers benefit from lexical feedback during orthographic processing
(Scientific Reports, 2019)
It has been proposed that poor reading abilities in deaf readers might be related to weak connections between the orthographic and lexical-semantic levels of processing. Here we used event related potentials (ERPs), known ...
Do alternating-color words facilitate reading aloud text in Chinese? Evidence with developing and adult readers
(Memory & Cognition, 2017)
Prior research has shown that colors induce perceptual grouping and, hence, colors can be used as word dividers during reading (Pinna & Deiana, 2014). This issue is particularly important for those writing systems that do ...
Does consonant–vowel skeletal structure play a role early in lexical processing? Evidence from masked priming
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2018)
Is the specific consonant–vowel (CV) letter combination of a word a basic source of information for lexical access in the early stages of processing? We designed two masked priming lexical decision experiments to respond ...
The ERP signature of the contextual diversity effect in visual word recognition
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017)
Behavioral experiments have revealed that words appearing in many different contexts are responded to faster than words that appear in few contexts. Although this contextual diversity (CD) effect has been found to be ...
Inhibitory Control for Emotional and Neutral Scenes in Competition: An Eye-Tracking Study in Bipolar Disorder
(Biological Psychology, 2017)
This study examined the inhibitory control of attention to social scenes in manic, depressive, and euthymic episodes of bipolar disorder (BD). Two scenes were simultaneously presented (happy/threatening/neutral [target] ...
Tracking the time course of letter visual-similarity effects during word recognition: A masked priming ERP investigation
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019)
Visual similarity effects during the early stages of word processing have been consistently found for letter-like digits and symbols. However, despite its relevance for models of word recognition, evidence for letter ...
Are go/no-go tasks preferable to two-choice tasks in response time experiments with older adults?
(Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2016)
Recent research has shown that, in response time (RT) tasks, the go/no-go response
procedure produces faster (and less noisy) RTs and fewer errors than the two-choice
response procedure in children, although these ...
Contextual diversity facilitates learning new words in the classroom
(PLoS ONE, 2017)
In the field of word recognition and reading, it is commonly assumed that frequently
repeated words create more accessible memory traces than infrequently repeated words,
thus capturing the word-frequency effect. ...
Is VIRTU4L Larger Than VIR7UAL? Automatic Processing of Number Quantity and Lexical Representations in Leet Words
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)
Recent research has shown that leet words (i.e., words in which some of the letters are replaced by visually similar digits; e.g., VIRTU4L) can be processed as their base words without much cost. However, it remains unclear ...
