“…6. There is emerging evidence that subjects can initiate their articulation prior to computing the entire pronunciation of a word (Kawamoto, Kello, Jones, & Bame, 1998). Note, however, that the most difficult aspect of mapping orthography to phonology in English relates to inconsistency in vowel pronunciations, and the fixation measure used in the current simulation is sufficiently sensitive to reflect this property.…”

A connectionist approach to word reading, based on the principles of distributed representation, graded learning of statistical structure, and interactivity in processing, has led to the development of explicit computational models which account for a wide range of data on normal skilled reading and on patterns of reading impairment due to brain damage. There have, however, been recent empirical challenges to these models, and the approach in general, relating to the influence of orthographic length on the naming latencies of both normal and dyslexic readers. The current work presents a simulation which generates sequential phonological output in response to written input, and which can refixate the input when encountering difficulty. The normal model reads both words and nonwords accurately, and exhibits an effect of orthographic length and a frequency-by-consistency interaction in its naming latencies. When subject to peripheral damage, the model exhibits an increased length effect that interacts with word frequency, characteristic of letter-by-letter reading in pure alexia. Although the model is far from a fully adequate account of all the relevant phenomena, it suggests how connectionist models may be extended to provide deeper insight into sequential processes in reading.

“…In line with cascaded flow of information, studies of spontaneous speech corpora have found frequency effects on articulation durations (Gahl, 2008;Pluymaekers, Ernestus, & Baayen, 2006). In single word production, a longer duration of the initial phoneme has been reported for words entailing irregular vowel pronunciation, compared to words with a regular vowel pronunciation (Kawamoto, Kello, Jones, & Bame, 1998). Also, lexical frequency seems to affect initial phoneme durations, but not rhyme durations (Kawamoto, Kello, Higareda, & Vu, 1999; see also Mousikou & Rastle, 2015).…”

“…in the first keystrokes. Indeed, this prediction has been already considered in typing (Damian & Freeman, 2008), and more thoroughly discussed and examined in spoken production (e.g., Kawamoto et al, 1998;. As suggested by an anonymous reviewer, we performed additional analyses in which we separately considered the average interkeystroke intervals corresponding to the first and the second half of each response.…”

Highlights1. We investigated response onset and response execution in typing 2. Lexical-semantic variables influenced response onset and interkeystroke intervals 3. Orthographic variables were found to affect only response execution 4. Results seem coherent with cascaded flow of information between linguistic and motor processes Running Head: TYPING PICTURES 3 AbstractThe present study investigated the effect of psycholinguistic variables on measures of response latency and mean interkeystroke interval in a typewritten picture naming task, with the aim to outline the functional organization of the stages of cognitive processing and response execution associated with typewritten word production. Onset latencies were modulated by lexical and semantic variables traditionally linked to lexical retrieval, such as word frequency, age of acquisition, and naming agreement. Orthographic variables, both at the lexical and sublexical level, appear to influence just within-word interkeystroke intervals, suggesting that orthographic information may play a relevant role in controlling actual response execution. Lexical-semantic variables also influenced speed of execution. This points towards cascaded flow of activation between stages of lexical access and response execution.

“…Unfortunately, it was not possible to control for factors such as articulatory difficulty (e.g., initial phoneme) and voice-key sensitivity (e.g., factors causing the voice-key to trigger). These factors are known to potentially affect naming latencies (e.g., Kawamoto, Kello, Jones, & Bame, 1998;Kessler, Treiman, & Mullennix, 2002;Pechmann, Reetz, & Zerbst, 1989;Rastle & Davies, 2002). Therefore, we carried out an additional experiment including a delayed naming task to control for potential differences of these two factors.…”

This study investigated the monitoring of metrical stress information in internally generated speech. In Experiment 1, Dutch participants were asked to judge whether bisyllabic picture names had initial or final stress. Results showed significantly faster decision times for initially stressed targets (e.g., KAno ‘‘canoe’’) than for targets with final stress (e.g., kaNON ‘‘cannon’’; capital letters indicate stressed syllables). It was demonstrated that monitoring latencies are not a function of the picture naming or object recognition latencies to the same pictures. Experiments 2 and 3 replicated the outcome of the first experiment with trisyllabic picture names. These results are similar to the findings of Wheeldon and Levelt (1995) in a segment monitoring task. The outcome might be interpreted to demonstrate that phonological encoding in speech production is a rightward incremental process. Alternatively, the data might reflect the sequential nature of a perceptual mechanism used to monitor lexical stress
