PS366 Lecture Notes - Part Of Speech, Lexical Decision Task, Cohort Model
Document Summary
Cross-modal lexical decision: related to meaning implied by context, presented with contextually related word, inappropriate, and unrelated word during presentation of bugs. Respond more quickly for contextually appropriate and inappropriate: presented with same words after 4 syllable delay. Now only respond quickly for contextually appropriate word. Till, mross, kintsch: people make lexical decision to words after different periods of time, contextually relevant and irrelevant associates are activated early, contextually relevant associate only meaning activated at 500ms and 1500 ms. Vu, kellas, and paul: people pronounced associates and unrelated words after the ambiguous word, only relevant associate was activated early. Importance of understanding thematic roles in sentence processing. Differences: relationship between lexical and conceptual knowledge. Independent vs interactive: how words are accessed. Direct/parallel vs serial: whether word recognition involves rules. Autonomous search: word recognition in 3 components, bins organized in descending order of frequency, 2 stages. Look in bins, based on spelling and sound. Retrieve syntactic and semantic properties from lexicon.
