“…In word recognition studies, a number of different tasks have been used: Participants are sometimes asked to read aloud written targets or repeat or write down spoken ones (Adelman et al, 2014;De Bree, Janse, & Van de Zande, 2007). They may also be asked to categorize targets with respect to semantic or phonological properties.…”

“…However, priming paradigms can readily be adapted for use with any sample of interest. There are, for instance, recent word priming studies using children as young as 2.5 years (Singh, 2014), and word priming paradigms have been amply used in research on healthy aging (De Bree et al, 2007), bilingual speakers (Kroll & Stewart, 1994;van Hell & de Groot, 1998) and in research involving various groups of patients (e.g., patients with Broca's aphasia, Utman, Blumstein, & Sullivan, 2001; with temporal lobe epilepsy, Miozzo & Hamberger, 2015; or semantic dementia, Merck, Jonin, Laisney, Vichard, & Belliard, 2014).…”

In word priming and interference studies, researchers typically present participants with pairs of words (called primes and targets) and assess how the processing of the targets (e.g., "nurse") is affected by different types of primes (e.g., semantically related and unrelated primes, such as "doctor" and "spoon"). Priming and interference paradigms have been used to study a broad range of issues concerning the structure of the mental lexicon and the ways linguistic representations are accessed during word comprehension and production. In this chapter, we illustrate the use of the paradigms in two exemplary studies, and then discuss the factors researchers need to take into account when selecting their stimuli, designing their experiments, and analyzing the results.

Purpose Earlier investigations based on word and sentence repetition tasks had revealed that the most prevalent metrical pattern in German (the trochee)—unlike the iambic pattern—facilitates articulation in patients with apraxia of speech (AOS; e.g., Aichert, Späth, & Ziegler, 2016 ), confirming that segmental and prosodic aspects of speech production interact. In this study, we investigated if articulation in apraxic speakers also benefits from auditory priming by speech with a regular rhythm. Furthermore, we asked if the advantage of regular speech rhythm, if present, is confined to impairments at the motor planning stage of speech production (i.e., AOS) or if it also applies to phonological encoding impairments. Method Twelve patients with AOS, 12 aphasic patients with postlexical phonological impairment (PI), and 36 neurologically healthy speakers were examined. A sequential synchronization paradigm based on a sentence completion task was conducted in conditions where we independently varied the metrical regularity of the prime sentence (regular vs. irregular prime sentence) and the metrical regularity of the target word (trochaic vs. iambic). Results Our data confirmed the facilitating effect of regular (trochaic) word stress on speech accuracy in patients with AOS (target effect). This effect could, for the first time, also be demonstrated in individuals with PI. Moreover, the study also revealed an influence of the metrical regularity of speech input in both patient groups (prime effect). Conclusions Patients with AOS and patients with PI exploited rhythmic cues in the speech of a model speaker for the initiation and the segmental realization of words. There seems to be a robust metrical influence on speech at both the phonological and the phonetic planning stages of speech production.

The roles of long-term phonotactic and lexical prosodic knowledge in phonological short-term memory

et al. 2014

Many previous studies have explored and confirmed the influence of long-term phonological representations on phonological short-term memory. In most investigations, phonological effects have been explored with respect to phonotactic constraints or frequency. If interaction between longterm memory and phonological short-term memory is a generalized principle, then other phonological characteristicsthat is, suprasegmental aspects of phonology-should also exert similar effects on phonological short-term memory. We explored this hypothesis through three immediate serial-recall experiments that manipulated Japanese nonwords with respect to lexical prosody (pitch-accent type, reflecting suprasegmental characteristics) as well as phonotactic frequency (reflecting segmental characteristics). The results showed that phonotactic frequency affected the retention not only of the phonemic sequences, but also of pitch-accent patterns, when participants were instructed to recall both the phoneme sequence and accent pattern of nonwords. In addition, accent pattern typicality influenced the retention of the accent pattern: Typical accent patterns were recalled more accurately than atypical ones. These results indicate that both long-term phonotactic and lexical prosodic knowledge contribute to phonological short-term memory performance.Keywords Working memory . Short-term memory . Phonotactic knowledge . Lexical prosodic knowledge . NonwordsSince its conception, a major component of working memory research has focused on phonological short-term memory (hereafter, pSTM), as represented by the concept of the articulatory loop (later called the phonological loop) of the original working memory model of Baddeley and Hitch (1974). The phonological loop is a subsystem that underpins the functioning of pSTM within the working memory system, which supports the temporal retention of information in the service of cognitive processes for a variety of tasks (e.g., Baddeley, 2012). In the past decade or so, awareness has increased of the important interactions between the phonological loop and long-term memory representations including language (Baddeley, 2000). These include interaction with phonological representations and semantic knowledge (Hulme, Maughan, & Brown, 1991;Jefferies, Frankish, & Lambon Ralph, 2006;Patterson, Graham, & Hodges, 1994). To date, much of this research has been limited to segmental aspects of phonology. In the present study, we expanded the range of this working memory principle to suprasegmental aspects. If the interaction between long-term representations and pSTM is a generalizable principle of working memory function, then there should be evidence for the influence of suprasegmental characteristics in working memory. This hypothesis was the focus of the present study.Currently, multiple sources of evidence point toward the influence of long-term knowledge on pSTM. For example, short-term memory performance is better for words than for nonwords (Hulme et al., 1991; Gathercole, 2009). This can be expl...
