“…In addition, there were, ofcourse, unrelated distractors. Our working model does not predict that begin-and end-related distractors should differ much in their effects, and, in some experiments, very similar results have been obtained for begin-and end-related stimulus pairs (Collins & Ellis, 1992;Meyer & Schriefers, 1991). However, many authors have argued for a special status ofword onsets, on the basis, for instance, ofthe fact that they are much more often involved in speech errors than word-internal or word-final segments (e.g., Fromkin, 1971;Garrett, 1975;Shattuck-Hufnagel, 1987).…”

Phonological priming effects on speech onset latencies and viewing times in object naming

An earlier experiment (Meyer, Sleiderink, & Levelt, 1998) had shown that speakers naming object pairs usually inspected the objects in the required order of mention (left object fIrst) and that the viewing time for the left object depended on the word frequency of its name. In the present experiment, object pairs were presented simultaneously with auditory distractor words that could be phonologically related or unrelated to the name of the object to be named fIrst. The speech onset latencies and the viewing times for that object were shorter after related distractors than after unrelated distractors. Since this phonological priming effect, like the word frequency effect, most likely arises during wordform retrieval, we conclude that the shift of gaze from the fIrst to the second object is initiated after the word form of the fIrst object's name has been accessed.In studies oflanguage production, speakers often name single objects in one-word utterances (e.g., cross or ball). On the basis of the results of such studies, detailed models of object naming have been proposed (e.g., Glaser, 1992;Humphreys, Lamote, & Lloyd-Jones, 1995;Humphreys, Riddoch, & Quinlan, 1988;Levelt, Roelofs, & Meyer, 1999). Though adult speakers sometimes produce one-word utterances, they often (perhaps more often) say sentences in which they refer to several concepts and express their relationships. In order to fluently produce such utterances, speakers must select the concepts to be mentioned and the corresponding words in close temporal succession. The issue addressed in the present paper is how the planning processes for the words of an utterance are coordinated with each other in time.Before turning to the coordination ofthe planning processes, we will outline which processes take place when a speaker names a single object. Our working model of object naming (Levelt et aI., 1999) distinguishes between the visual-conceptual processes involved in object recognition and the following lexical access processes. Visual-conceptual processing comprises two steps. First, a percept is computed from the visual image. A percept is an integrated representation of the visual properties of the object, such as its shape, size, color, and current orientation. Second, an appropriate lexical concept is accessed. Lexical concepts can be viewed as nodes in a semantic network. Labeled connections (e.g., "is-a," "has-a") express their relationships (Roelofs, 1992). Lexical concepts differ from other concepts in that they have links to entries in the mental lexicon. Lexical access also comprisesThe authors thank Herbert Baumann, John Nagengast, and Johan Weustink for technical support and Andrew Ellis, David Irwin, Pim Levelt, Janice Murray, and an anonymous reviewer for helpful comments on the manuscript.

“…However, Dell (1988), like others (Shattuck-Hufnagel, 1983), has postulated that the phoneme category nodes could be activated in series. At present, although few studies have been conducted, some have provided evidence for a sequential left-to-right selection process of phonemes within syllables (Meyer, 1991;Sevald & Dell, 1994), whereas others have provided evidence for a parallel process (Collins & Ellis, 1992). Meyer (1991; conducted the seminal work in this area using two different priming tasks.…”

In the present study, two priming experiments were performed to gain a better understanding of the planning processes that underlie phonological encoding. In Experiment 1, participants named picture primes and targets that were identical, shared the same onsets (e.g. coat-comb), or shared the same rhymes (e.g. mouse-house). In addition, the response stimulus interval (RSI) between the primes and targets was varied (650 and 1000 msec). The results revealed a facilitatory repetition priming effect that did not decrease with RSI. In addition, a reliable rhyme-related inhibitory effect was obtained, which was smaller in magnitude than the onset-related inhibitory effect. In Experiment 2, the identity condition was excluded to determine if a strategic comparison process may have produced the inhibitory effects. In addition, a new stimulus set was created and the RSI was held at 650 msec. The results replicated those of Experiment 1 by showing a reliably larger inhibitory effect for onset-related than rhyme-related targets. The results are consistent with Dell's (1988) two-stage sequential model of encoding in which there is an initial parallel activation within a lexical network followed by a sequential left-to-right selection of the intended word's phonemes.Requests for reprints should be addressed to Michael Sullivan,

“…A number of recent studies (Bajo & Canas, 1989;Collins & Ellis, 1992;Lupker & Williams, 1989;McEvoy, 1988) have reported that phonologically similar word or nonword primes do facilitate picture naming in conditions in which primes are clearly visible or audible. Other studies, using an interference paradigm, suggest that phonologically similar word (or nonword) primes facilitate picture naming relative to unrelated controls (Lupker, 1982;Rayner & Posnansky, 1978;Schriefers, Meyer, & Levelt, 1990).…”

A study of masked form priming in picture and word naming

1994

We report a series of picture-and word-naming experiments in which the masked priming paradigm with prime exposures brief enough to prevent prime identification were used. Experiment 1 demonstrates that the prior presentation of the same word prime facilitates both picture and word naming independently of target frequency. In Experiments 2 and 3, primes that were pseudohomophones of picture targets produced facilitatory effects compared with orthographic controls, but these orthographically similar nonword primes did not facilitate picture naming compared with unrelated controls. On the other hand, word targets were primarily facilitated by orthographic primetarget overlap. This marked dissociation in the priming effects obtained with picture and word targets is discussed in relation to different explanations of masked form priming effects in visual word recognition and current models of picture and word naming.
