“…In this case the target is activated comparatively less and the priming effect ensues. This interpretation can be applied to studies presenting two-syllable Running Head: STRESS PRIMING 42 fragments (Cooper et al, 2002;Soto-Faraco et al, 2001;Tagliapetra & Tabossi, 2005;van Donselaar et al, 2005) or single syllables (Friedrich et al, 2004;Schild et al, 2014a, b) and is supported by eye-movement studies tracking the course of lexical activation during presentation of the prime (Jesse & McQueen, 2014;Reinisch et al, 2009;Sulpizio & McQueen, 2012).…”

“…Friedrich, Kotz, Friederici, and Alter (2004) found that auditory monosyllabic fragments with fundamental frequency (F0) contours derived from stressed or unstressed syllables affected response times and ERP components to subsequent visual word targets. Follow-up studies also reported ERP effects of prosodic congruence with monosyllabic primes in certain time windows (with inconsistencies in effect polarity and in behavioral response times; Schild, Becker, & Friedrich, 2014a,b).…”

This study addresses the lexical representation of stress in a series of five intra-modal and cross-modal priming experiments in the Greek language using lexical decision tasks with auditory and visual targets. Three-syllable primes and targets were matched in first syllable segments, length, and other variables, and differed segmentally in the second and third syllable. Primes matched or mismatched targets in stress, which was placed on the penultimate or antepenultimate syllable. There was no evidence for stress priming in either accuracy or latency of responses to either words or pseudowords in any of these experiments, either intra-modally or cross-modally. In contrast, a control fragment priming experiment using only the first two syllables of the primes produced a significant effect of stress congruence for words but not for pseudowords. The results are interpreted in the context of previous findings in the literature as arising from lexical activation rather than from matching stress patterns. Overall, findings are consistent with lexical representations including stress information that is inseparable from segmental specification, rather than with abstract representations of metrical templates.

“…Because speech rhythm must be defined as a conglomerate of parameters with suprasegmental cues such as syllable duration, syllable stress, or pause being most important, it comes as no surprise that neuropsychological research has focused initially on these phonetic cues. In particular, specific eventrelated brain potentials, the ''closure positive shift'' (CPS) or the P350, have been observed to be modulated by the processing of speech accent or speech pauses (Friedrich, Kotz, Friederici, & Alter, 2004;Steinhauer, Alter, & Friederici, 1999). Furthermore, a recently published study has reported an increased N400 for sentences comprising a syllable lengthening in the last word (Magne et al, 2007).…”

The present study investigates the neural correlates of rhythm processing in speech perception. German pseudosentences spoken with an exaggerated (isochronous) or a conversational (nonisochronous) rhythm were compared in an auditory functional magnetic resonance imaging experiment. The subjects had to perform either a rhythm task (explicit rhythm processing) or a prosody task (implicit rhythm processing). The study revealed bilateral activation in the supplementary motor area (SMA), extending into the cingulate gyrus, and in the insulae, extending into the right basal ganglia (neostriatum), as well as activity in the right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) related to the performance of the rhythm task. A direct contrast between isochronous and nonisochronous sentences revealed differences in lateralization of activation for isochronous processing as a function of the explicit and implicit tasks. Explicit processing revealed activation in the right posterior superior temporal gyrus (pSTG), the right supramarginal gyrus, and the right parietal operculum. Implicit processing showed activation in the left supramarginal gyrus, the left pSTG, and the left parietal operculum. The present results indicate a function of the SMA and the insula beyond motor timing and speak for a role of these brain areas in the perception of acoustically temporal intervals. Secondly, the data speak for a specific task-related function of the right IFG in the processing of accent patterns. Finally, the data sustain the assumption that the right secondary auditory cortex is involved in the explicit perception of auditory suprasegmental cues and, moreover, that activity in the right secondary auditory cortex can be modulated by top-down processing mechanisms.

“…In contrast, the P350, a positive wave peaking around 350 ms, has been proposed to reflect lexical processing (Friedrich, Kotz, Friederici, & Gunter, 2004;Friedrich, Kotz, Friederici, & Alter, 2004;Friedrich, Schild, & Röder, 2009). According to Friedrich et al (2009), the P350 reflects the activation of modality-independent neural word form representations.…”

Tracking the Time Course of Word‐Frequency Effects in Auditory Word Recognition With Event‐Related Potentials

Although the word-frequency effect is one of the most established findings in spoken-word recognition, the precise processing locus of this effect is still a topic of debate. In this study, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to track the time course of the word-frequency effect. In addition, the neighborhood density effect, which is known to reflect mechanisms involved in word identification, was also examined. The ERP data showed a clear frequency effect as early as 350 ms from word onset on the P350, followed by a later effect at word offset on the late N400. A neighborhood density effect was also found at an early stage of spoken-word processing on the PMN, and at word offset on the late N400. Overall, our ERP differences for word frequency suggest that frequency affects the core processes of word identification starting from the initial phase of lexical activation and including target word selection. They thus rule out any interpretation of the word frequency effect that is limited to a purely decisional locus after word identification has been completed.
