Embodied cognition: Is activation of the motor cortex essential for understanding action verbs? [0.03%]
具身认知：运动皮层激活对于理解动作动词是否是必需的？
Jeff Miller,Kate Brookie,Sid Wales et al.
Jeff Miller et al.
In 8 experiments using language processing tasks ranging from lexical decision to sensibility judgment, participants made hand or foot responses after reading hand- or foot-associated words such as action verbs. In general, response time (R...
Guessing versus misremembering in recognition: A comparison of continuous, two-high-threshold, and low-threshold models [0.03%]
猜测与错误回忆在识别中的对比：连续模型、双门槛模型和低门槛模型的比较
Jeffrey J Starns,Qiuli Ma
Jeffrey J Starns
The two-high-threshold (2HT) model of recognition memory assumes that people make memory errors because they fail to retrieve information from memory and make a guess, whereas the continuous unequal-variance (UV) model and the low-threshold...
The effects of sleep deprivation on item and associative recognition memory [0.03%]
睡眠不足对项目记忆和联想记忆的影响
Roger Ratcliff,Hans P A Van Dongen
Roger Ratcliff
Sleep deprivation adversely affects the ability to perform cognitive tasks, but theories range from predicting an overall decline in cognitive functioning because of reduced stability in attentional networks to specific deficits in various ...
Individual variability in the semantic processing of English compound words [0.03%]
英语复合词的语义加工个体差异性研究
Daniel Schmidtke,Julie A Van Dyke,Victor Kuperman
Daniel Schmidtke
Semantic transparency effects during compound word recognition provide critical insight into the organization of semantic knowledge and the nature of semantic processing. The past 25 years of psycholinguistic research on compound semantic t...
Category structure determines the relative attractiveness of global versus local averages [0.03%]
类别结构决定了全局平均值和局部平均值的相对吸引力
Tobias Vogel,Evan W Carr,Tyler Davis et al.
Tobias Vogel et al.
Stimuli that capture the central tendency of presented exemplars are often preferred-a phenomenon also known as the classic beauty-in-averageness effect. However, recent studies have shown that this effect can reverse under certain conditio...

Phonotactics-constraints on the position and combination of speech sounds within syllables-are subject to statistical differences that gradiently affect speaker and listener behavior (e.g., Vitevitch & Luce, 1999). What statistical properti...
How is the serial order of a visual sequence represented? Insights from transposition latencies [0.03%]
视觉序列的串行顺序是如何表征的？来自转换延迟的启示
Mark J Hurlstone,Graham J Hitch
Mark J Hurlstone
A central goal of research on short-term memory (STM) over the past 2 decades has been to identify the mechanisms that underpin the representation of serial order, and to establish whether these mechanisms are the same across different moda...

Tamar H Gollan
The current study investigated the possibility that language switches could be relatively automatically triggered by context. Single-word switches, in which bilinguals switched languages on a single word in midsentence and then immediately ...
The longevity of statistical learning: When infant memory decays, isolated words come to the rescue [0.03%]
统计学习的持久性：当婴儿记忆衰退时，单独词语提供帮助
Ferhat Karaman,Jessica F Hay
Ferhat Karaman
Research over the past 2 decades has demonstrated that infants are equipped with remarkable computational abilities that allow them to find words in continuous speech. Infants can encode information about the transitional probability (TP) b...
The effect of background noise on the word activation process in nonnative spoken-word recognition [0.03%]
背景噪音对二语听觉词识别中词活化过程的影响
Odette Scharenborg,Juul M J Coumans,Roeland van Hout
Odette Scharenborg
This article investigates 2 questions: (1) does the presence of background noise lead to a differential increase in the number of simultaneously activated candidate words in native and nonnative listening? And (2) do individual differences ...
