Spatiotemporal dynamics of modality-specific and supramodal word processing.

The ability of written and spoken words to access the same semantic meaning provides a test case for the multimodal convergence of information from sensory to associative areas. Using anatomically constrained magnetoencephalography (aMEG), the present ...

Neural correlates of declarative memory for emotionally valenced words in women with posttraumatic stress disorder related to early childhood sexual abuse.

BACKGROUND: Animal studies have shown that early stressors result in lasting changes in structure and function of brain areas involved in memory, including hippocampus and frontal cortex. Patients with childhood abuse-related posttraumatic stress ...

Influence of consonantal context on the pronunciation of vowels: a comparison of human readers and computational models.

In two experiments, we found that college students pronunciations of vowels in nonwords are influenced both by preceding and following consonants. The predominance of rimes in previous studies of reading does not appear to arise because readers are ...

Alphabetical knowledge from whole words training: effects of explicit instruction and implicit experience on learning script segmentation.

We investigated the possibility that pattern segmentation skills, specifically, phonological decoding, evolve implicitly in adult readers given training in an artificial script. In this Morse-like script each phoneme was represented by 2-3 discrete ...

Morphological decomposition involving non-productive morphemes: ERP evidence.

It is generally believed that readers decompose a complex word into its constituent morphemes only when those morphemes participate productively in word formation. Here we recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) to words (e.g. muffler, receive), ...

Differences in the perception and time course of syntactic and semantic violations.

A reading time and an ERP experiment conducted in Italian investigated the parsers responses to a syntactic violation (subject-verb number agreement) and to a semantic violation (subject-verb selectional restriction), examining the time course of ...

Receiver operating characteristics in the lexical decision task: evidence for a simple signal-detection process simulated by the multiple read-out model.

This study provides further evidence for the hypothesis that performance in the lexical decision task is based on the output of a signal detection mechanism, as implemented by the multiple read-out model of word recognition (MROM; J. Grainger & A. M. ...

Phenotypic and behavioral genetic covariation between elemental cognitive components and scholastic measures.

The study subjected nine elementary cognitive task variables from the Cognitive Assessment Tasks (CAT) and three scholastic measures from the Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT) to phenotypic and behavioral genetic structural equation modeling based on ...

Computerizing reading training: evaluation of a latent semantic analysis space for science text.

The effectiveness of a domain-specific latent semantic analysis (LSA) in assessing reading strategies was examined. Students were given self-explanation reading training (SERT) and asked to think aloud after each sentence in a science text. Novice and ...

Foundation literacy acquisition in European orthographies.

Several previous studies have suggested that basic decoding skills may develop less effectively in English than in some other European orthographies. The origins of this effect in the early (foundation) phase of reading acquisition are investigated ...
