Psychology 3140F/G Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Speech Recognition, Phoneme, Crossmodal
Document Summary
Difference from written word recognition signal comes in over time and is fleeting. Theory from monolinguals cohort model: marslen-wilson (1987): the onset of a word activate lexical candidates (cohorts) which compete for recognition. The words in the cohort are all those that are consistent with the speech so far. As more speech comes in, activation declines from words that don"t match the input. All the words starting with g --> all the words starting with gr ---> all the words starting with gra When the probe was presented during the second syllable (ex. Ain of captain) priming was found only for the target that was related to the word with that syllable (ex. Ship: provides evidence that as you listen to a word you activate a cohort of words that are consistent with what you have heard so far, then eliminate based on further evidence.
