Language Production 2

Question 1

Is word production discrete or continuous?

Answer 1

Has been discussed for many years and the results are controversial.
Seriality: the selected lemma activates it’s lexeme.
Continuous transmission: non selected lemmas also activate their lexeme

Question 2

What is SOA?

Answer 2

Stimulus onset asynchrony

Question 3

How is picture word interference studied?

Answer 3

By a picture of something with a text below. SOA

Question 4

What does distractor effects over SOA show?

Answer 4

Word first then picture = semantic interference large (early SOA).
Picture first then word = semantic interference large ( late SOA).
Phonological effects large at 0 and large SOA, gone at early SOA.
Supports discreetness

Question 5

What does evidence of phonological co-activation show?

Answer 5

The activation of the word forms of words you don’t want to say

Question 6

What does picture picture interference experiments show?

Answer 6

If two pictures are phonological related are presented, phonological facilitation is observed, although the non-target pictures do mot need to be processed.
Suggest continuous spread of activation from conceptual level trough lexicon, down to the lexeme level
