A

Yes - lexical selection stage

40
Q

At what level of Levelt’s model are inhibitory signals sent out?

A

Lemma stage

41
Q

What happens at the Lemma stage of Levelt’s model, which prevents us from making speech errors?

A

Inhibitory signals ‘checking mechanism’

42
Q

Why aren’t speech errors possible at the Lemma level?

A

Only one word activated at this level

‘Checking mechanism’

43
Q

According to Levelt’s model, speech errors are only really possible for…

A

Concepts very closely related so both viable for selection/processing

44
Q

What are the 5 stages one goes through according to Levelt’s model of speech production?

A

1) Concept selected
2) Lemma
3) Morphological
4) Phonological
5) Articulation

45
Q

What are the two pieces of evidence for Levelt’s WEAVER model?

A

1) Wheeldon & Monsell

2) TOT states

46
Q

What evidence did Wheeldon & Monsell find in support of Level’ts WEAVER model?

A

RTs slower for semantically related words than unrelated

47
Q

What are TOT states?

A

Tip of tongue

When you know a word but can’t quite articulate it

48
Q

How do Italian speaker TOT states provide evidence for Levelt’s model?

A

Couldn’t quite articulate word

But knew the grammatical gender

49
Q

Italian speaker TOT provides strong evidence for which stage of Levelt’s model?

A

Lemma stage

50
Q

If Levelt’s model is discrete/top down, ________ processing should only occur for items that have been selected, not ‘non target’ information

A

Phonological

51
Q

One research study used words that overlapped in phonology, such as dog and doll. Levelt would say…

A

There’d be no difference in RT

52
Q

One research study used words that overlapped in phonology, such as dog and doll. Dell would say…

A

Phonology activated for both word forms

RT would be quicker

53
Q

One research study used words that overlapped in phonology, such as dog and doll. It was found that…

A

Phonologically related RTs = faster

Meaning/planning

66

Dell’s Model

Generally cascades down the model but is ______ and can be ____ ____ _____

A

Interactive

Up or down

67
Q

According to Dell’s model, why do speech errors occur in terms of activation?

1) incorrect word more activated

2) both activated equally = blend errors?

68

Does Ferreira and Griffins nun/priest study support or go against Dell’s Spreading Activation theory?

A

Supports

69
Q

Ferreria and Griffins nun/none/priest study show that semantically and…

Lowest level of Levelts WEAVER?

A

Morpheme/phonological level

71
Q

Which level is selected first for Levelt’s WEAVER model

A

Lexical concepts/selection level

72

Levelt assumes that speech errors occur because more than one…

A

Lexical unit may be selected at the lexical selection level

73
Q

Is Levelt’s model interactive or non interactive?

A

Not interactive

74
Q

According to Dell, are speech production processes flexible or not very flexible?

A

Very flexible

75
Q

According to LEVELT, processing of items which are semantically similar will be _______

A

Inhibitive

76
Q

TOT state

Semantic processing successful, we activate correct lemma but….

A

Phonological processing is unsuccessful (we cannot produce sound)

77
Q

Italian speakers did/did not know the grammatical gender of the word +/but not the specific morpheme or phoneme

A

DID know grammatical gender

But not specific morpheme or phoneme

78
Q

Evidence for AND against for Levelt’s TOT Lemma state?

A

Italian speakers vs German

79
Q

What kind of words did Harley and Brown argue the TOT state generally tends to occur with?

A

Words that don’t sound similar to other words e.g. apron

80
Q

Levelt predicted phonological similarity should/should not affect processing of competing items

A

should not

81

Self monitoring evidence

A

Speakers often correct themselves before producing incorrect word
