Psycholinguistic Boxes Flashcards
Speech Output Lexicon
Translates concepts of semantic representations into a code used at the phoneme level
Conceptual phonology of a word
Well on homophobe matching means you have access to phonology
Semantic representations –> phonemes
Access to words from semantic system determined by frequency
Activated if reading aloud
Storage for memory of the pronunciation of words
Breakdown in SOL
Tip of the Tongue Phenemonon
Paraphasias (semantic & phonemic)
Phoneme Level
knowing the phonemes and preparing motor execution
Individual distinctive speech sounds represented here
Guides speech production
Breakdown in PL
potential verbal apraxia
Visual Analysis System
“Letter recognizers”
Screens & identifies letters as familiar
Identifies component letters of words & notes their position within a word
Breakdown in VAS
Neglect dyslexia
Letter by letter reading
Visual Input Lexicon
Receives input from VAS and decides if it is a word or not
Knows you have seen the word before
Activates stored representations of meanings in semantic system
Semantic System
store house for words & their meanings
Breakdown in Semantic System
Surface dyslexia: if person has trouble understanding spoken and written words
Deep Dyslexia
Semantic Access Dyslexia
Direct Dyslexia
Grapheme to Phoneme Conversion
Translates familiar strings into phoneme strings
Always used for nonwords or regular words
IS NOT USED FOR IRREGULAR WORDS
GPC route to reading is more laborious, used for unskilled readers/dyslexics
Breakdown in GPC
Phonological Dyslexia
Deep Dyslexia
Auditory Analysis System
Distinguish between speech & non-speech
Main job=extract acousic information & match it with specific phonemes
Distinctive features & stored representations of phonemes
Just phonetic information
Breakdown in AAS
Pure word deafness
Unable to discriminate between real sounds & speech sounds
Cannot repeat or understand speech, not able to produce ANY words
Despite normal hearing, cannot discriminate acoustic signal of speech sounds
??speed of processing of the acoustic signal
Bilateral Temporal Lobe Lesion
AAS -> PL link
Pathway used for repetition of nonwords & unfamiliar words
No meaning attached to these words
Breakdown in AAS –> PL link
Auditory Phonological Agnosia
Acoustic to phoneme conversion pathway is impaired
Poor repetition of non words
auditory lexical decision task is normal, no issue with real words because they can go through the semantic route
can’t segment sounds from speech words
Problem=can never learn new words!!!!
