Reconciling the Contradictory Effects of Production on Word Learning: Production May Help at First, but It Hurts Later
Kapnoula, Efthymia C.; Samuel, Arthur G. (APA American Psychological Association, 2022)Does saying a novel word help to recognize it later? Previous research on the effect of production on this aspect of word learning is inconclusive, as both facilitatory and detrimental effects of production are reported. ... -
Regularity in speech rhythm as a social coalition signal
Polyanskaya, Leona; Samuel, Arthur G.; Ordin, Mikhail (Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)Regular rhythm facilitates audiomotor entrainment and synchronization in motor behavior and vocalizations between individuals. As rhythm entrainment between interacting agents is correlated with higher levels of ... -
Second-language word recognition in noise: Interdependent neuromodulatory effects of semantic context and crosslinguistic interactions driven by word form similarity
Guediche, Sara; de Bruin, Angela; Caballero-Gaudes, Cesar; Baart, Martijn; Samuel, Arthur G. (NeuroImage, 2021)Spoken language comprehension is a fundamental component of our cognitive skills. We are quite proficient at deciphering words from the auditory input despite the fact that the speech we hear is often masked by noise such ... -
Selective Adaptation in Speech: Measuring the Effects of Visual and Lexical Contexts
Dorsi, Josh; Rosenblum, Lawrence D.; Samuel, Arthur G.; Zadoorian, Serena (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2021)Speech selective adaptation is a phenomenon in which repeated presentation of a speech stimulus alters subsequent phonetic categorization. Prior work has reported that lexical, but not multisensory, context influences ... -
Semantic priming effects can be modulated by crosslinguistic interactions during second-language auditory word recognition
Guediche, Sara; Baart, Martijn; Samuel, Arthur G. (Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2020)The current study investigates how second language auditory word recognition, in early and highly proficient Spanish–Basque (L1-L2) bilinguals, is influenced by crosslinguistic phonological-lexical interactions and semantic ... -
Some people are ‘‘More Lexical” than others
Ishida, Mako; Samuel, Arthur G.; Arai, Takayuki (Cognition, 2016)People can understand speech under poor conditions, even when successive pieces of the waveform are flipped in time. Using a new method to measure perception of such stimuli, we show that words with sounds based on rapid ... -
Sound changes that lead to seeing longer-lasting shapes
Samuel, Arthur G.; Tangella, Kavya (Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2018)To survive, people must construct an accurate representation of the world around them. There is a body of research on visual scene analysis, and a largely separate literature on auditory scene analysis. The current study ... -
Speech Rhythm Convergence as a Social Coalition Signal
Polyanskaya, Leona; Samuel, Arthur G.; Ordin, Mikhail (Evolutionary Psychology, 2019)Patterns of nonverbal and verbal behavior of interlocutors become more similar as communication progresses. Rhythm entrainment promotes prosocial behavior and signals social bonding and cooperation. Yet, it is unknown if ... -
The effect of orthography on the recognition of pronunciation variants
Charoy, Jeanne; Samuel, Arthur G. (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020)In conversational speech, it is very common for words’ segments to be reduced or deleted. However, previous research has consistently shown that during spoken word recognition, listeners prefer words’ canonical pronunciation ... -
The effects of ethnicity, musicianship, and tone language experience on pitch perception
Zheng, Yi; Samuel, Arthur G. (Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2018)Article information Article has an altmetric score of 3 Free Access Article Information Volume: 71 issue: 12, page(s): 2627-2642 Article first published online: February 16, 2018; Issue published: December 1, ... -
The Relationship Between Phonemic Category Boundary Changes and Perceptual Adjustments to Natural Accents
Zheng, Yi; Samuel, Arthur G. (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020)People often experience difficulties when they first hear a novel accent. Prior research has shown that relatively fast natural accent accommodation can occur. However, there has been little investigation of the underlying ... -
The Role of Native Language and the Fundamental Design of the Auditory System in Detecting Rhythm Changes
Ordin, Mikhail; Polyanskaya, Leona; Gómez, David Maximiliano; Samuel, Arthur G. (Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing, 2019)Purpose: We investigated whether rhythm discrimination is mainly driven by the native language of the listener or by the fundamental design of the human auditory system and universal cognitive mechanisms shared by all ... -
Voices in the mental lexicon: Words carry indexical information that can affect access to their meaning
Kapnoula, Efthymia C.; Samuel, Arthur G. (Journal of Memory and Language, 2019)The speech signal carries both linguistic and non-linguistic information (e.g., a talker’s voice qualities; referred to as indexical information). There is evidence that indexical information can affect some aspects of ... -
Voluntary language switching: When and why do bilinguals switch between their languages?
de Bruin, Angela; Samuel, Arthur G.; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Journal of Memory and Language, 2018)Bilingual language switching has been studied extensively in cued picture naming paradigms, instructing bilinguals when to switch between languages. However, in daily life, bilinguals often switch freely, without ... -
Wait long and prosper! Delaying production alleviates its detrimental effect on word learning
Kapnoula, Efthymia C.; Samuel, Arthur G. (Taylor & Francis, 2023)Recent work by Baese-Berk and Samuel (Baese-Berk, M. M., & Samuel, A. G. (2022). Just give it time: Differential effects of disruption and delay on perceptual learning. Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 84(3), 960–980.) ... -
Where do dialectal effects on speech processing come from? Evidence from a cross-dialect investigation
Larraza Arnanz, Saioa ; Samuel, Arthur G.; Oñederra Olaizola, Miren Lourdes (The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2017)Accented speech has been seen as an additional impediment for speech processing; it usually adds linguistic and cognitive load to the listener's task. In the current study we analyse where the processing costs of regional ...
