Influence of Pictures on Word Recognition
… superior memory of pictorial stimuli compared to word stimuli. The predominant explanation for this effect is that pictures are encoded more effectively than words, and are therefore able to be better remembered. Research has demonstrated the benefit that pictures provide for remembering words. …

Psychometrically Equivalent Arabic Monosyllabic Word Recognition Materials
… equate a set of Arabic monosyllabic word lists to use in the measurement of the word recognition score. Familiar Arabic monosyllabic words were digitally recorded by a native male talker from Jordan who was judged to have a standard Arabic dialect. Twenty native Arabic participants …

The Effect Of Word Sociality On Word Recognition
… into the role of semantic structure in the recognition of written and spoken words has grown, it has not looked specifically at the role of conversational context on the recognition of isolated words. This study was a corpus-based and behavioral exploration of a new semantic variable - …

Neighborhood Density and Word Recognition: Effects of Phoneme Position
… interest in how individuals process single words when they are heard. An examination of the literature reveals an interesting, yet little-explored contradiction between the assumptions underlying the neighborhood activation model (NAM) and contemporary models of word retrieval. In this …

L2 gender facilitation and inhibition in spoken word recognition
… in second language (L2) learners' spoken word recognition. Native speakers of languages that have grammatical gender are sensitive to gender marking when hearing and recognizing a word. Gender facilitation refers to when a given noun that is preceded by an adjective with the same gender …

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 …

The Role of the Phonological Syllable in English Word Recognition
… 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 away …

Is Speech Sound Selection Important for Diagnostic Word-Recognition Tasks?
… consideration in the development of monosyllabic word recognition tasks (e.g., Lehiste & Peterson, 1959). Therefore, efforts have been made in the careful selection of words to ensure the phonemic composition of a word list is representative of English. Some studies show lack of difference in …

Context-Free Word Recognition of Skilled and Less-Skilled Spellers
… reading and spelling. On a test of context-free word recognition, the dysgraphic group identified fewer words and required more time to respond to each word. Results were interpreted to support a limited-capacity, interactive-compensatory model of reading, with efficient decoding as a mechanism …

Psycholinguistic Investigations of Brand Names via Word Recognition and Memory Experiments
… over nonambiguous brand names, pronounceable nonwords benefit from high orthographic neighbourhoods of real English words, repeated exposure to nonwords does not necessarily improve memory based on orthography, and the addition of semantic content offers very little effect in improving memory for …

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 the …

Implementation of Educational Games-based Instruction for Improving Sight Word Recognition
The implementation and selection of sight word instruction in classrooms has changed throughout the years, as educators seek to find the most effective and student-friendly ways to teach sight word recognition. Students’ ability to automatically and accurately read sight words plays a key role in …

The Development of Word Recognition Materials for Native Speakers of Tongan
… equate a set of Tongan bisyllabic word lists for use in measurement of word recognition testing. Commonly used bisyllabic words were digitally recorded by male and female native talkers of Tongan. The psychometric performance of the words was measured at ten intensity levels (- 5 to …
