The activation of multiletter units in visual word recognition
Influential accounts of visual word recognition argue that lexical access is entirely mediated via preliminary letter identification processcs(McClelland and Rumelhart, 1981; Seidenberg, 1987). Others advocate a role for visual features characterising the whole word (Haber and Haber, 1981). A third …

Processing of Underlying and Surface Phonological Representations In Visual Word Recognition
… the nature of phonological codes used in visual word recognition. The phonological unit selected for the study was the underlying and surface representations of word-final two-consonant codas. The underlying representation consisted of both consonants whereas the surface representation had …

Filters, Neighbors, and Triangles: A Behaviorally and Electrophysiologically Informed Perspective on Visual Word Recognition
… current prevalent computational models of visual word recognition. Specifically, the functionally homogenous cooperative division of labor model (Triangle) and the full family of dual-route models (Dual-Route Cascaded and Connectionist Dual Process Plus) are contrasted. The results of the …

THE PHONOGRAPHIC NETWORK OF LANGUAGE: USING NETWORK SCIENCE TO INVESTIGATE THE PHONOLOGICAL AND ORTHOGRAPHIC SIMILARITY STRUCTURE OF LANGUAGE
Orthographic effects in spoken word recognition and phonological effects in visual word recognition have been observed in a variety of behavioral experimental paradigms, strongly suggesting that a close interrelationship exists between phonology and orthography. However, the metrics used to …

Phonological representation and processing in bilingual learners: investigating cross- language phonological activation and accuracy of phonological representation
… and cognate priming in processing of isolated words. However, investigations into sentence-level processing remain sparse. Moreover, the significance of cross-linguistic phonological priming and its consistency across various languages, task modalities, and priming directions have yet to be …

Phonological and Semantic Processing of Chinese Characters
… indicate the complexity of Chinese character recognition, with various factors being operative simultaneously, and these studies served as an informative means of exploring such complexities at a newer level of detail. Implications are discussed regarding various models of visual word …

Articulatory features for robust visual speech recognition
This thesis explores a novel approach to visual speech modeling. Visual speech, or a sequence of images of the speaker's face, is traditionally viewed as a single stream of contiguous units, each corresponding to a phonetic segment. These units are defined heuristically by mapping several visually …

The Role of the Phonological Syllable in English Word Recognition
… examined the role of syllables during English visual word recognition. A colour congruency paradigm (Carreiras, Vergara, & Barber, 2005) was used in which disyllabic words were presented in two colours that divided each item either at the syllable boundary (congruent condition), or one letter …

An eye tracking study of sentence reading in aphasia: influences of frequency and context
… and context, demonstrate that more probable words and structures are processed more quickly than those that are less probable. However, not much is known about probabilistic influences on the reading of people with aphasia at the sentence level. Two eye tracking experiments were conducted to …

Uncovering Dynamic Semantic Networks in the Brain Using Novel Approaches for EEG/MEG Connectome Reconstruction
… data-driven analyses of EEG/MEG recordings of visual word recognition paradigms and found that: 1) Bilateral Anterior Temporal Lobes (ATLs) acted as potential processor hubs for higher-level abstract representation of concepts. This was reflected in modulations of activity by multiple contrasts …

Phonological Priming in Japanese-English Bilinguals: Evidence from Lexical Decision and ERP
… in Japanese-English bilinguals when English words (e.g., guy) were primed by phonologically related logographic (Kanji) words (e.g., 害, /gai/, “harm”) and also when English words (e.g., guide) were primed by phonologically similar phonogram (Katakana) words (e.g.,サイド, /saido/,”side”). In …

Hemispheric differences in orthographic and semantic processing as revealed by event-related potentials
… right and left hemispheres (RH, LH) apprehend visual words were examined using event-related potentials (ERPs) in a repetition paradigm with visual half-field (VF) presentation. In both hemispheres (RH/LVF, LH/RVF), initial presentation of items elicited similar and typical effects of …

Text-Picture Integration during Inferential Processing by L1 and L2 English and Chinese Speakers: Individual Differences and Script Effects
… that inference generation is also crucial to visual narrative comprehension. Given the similarities between verbal and visual narratives, it is reasonable to argue that readers might be able to integrate information across different codalities during inference processing. Meanwhile, given the …

Context and Vocabulary Acquisition: An Eye Movement Investigation

Lexico-semantic processing in adult monolingual Russian and bilingual Russian (L1) - English (L2) Speakers
