Modulation of attentional bias by hypnosis: Disentangling the effect of induction and suggestion
Components of the hypnotic context modulate attentional bias in high suggestibles. • Induction and suggestion both contribute to this modulation. • A suggestion under hypnosis does not increase the size of the modulation. • The effects were not driven by session repetition or expectancy from verbal cues. • Our findings delineate the different components enabling hypnotic modulations. Hypnotic suggestions can modulate unintentional emotional proce…
Inhibition in the emotional Hayling task: Can Hypnotic Suggestion Enhance Cognitive Control on a Prepotent Negative Word
Recent studies suggest that instrumental hypnosis is a useful experimental tool to investigate emotional and language processing effects. However, the capacity of hypnotic suggestions to intervene during the response inhibition of emotional words remains elusive. This study investigated whether hypnotic suggestion can improve the inhibition of prepotent negative word responses in an emotional Hayling sentence completion task. High-suggestible par…

Modulation of attentional bias by hypnotic suggestion: Experimental evidence from an emotional Stroop task
Hypnosis is considered a unique tool capable of modulating cognitive processes. The extent to which hypnotic suggestions intervenes is still under debate. This study was designed to provide a new insight into this issue, by focusing on an unintentional emotional process: attentional bias. In Experiment 1, highly suggestible participants performed three sessions of an emotional Stroop task where hypnotic suggestions aiming to increase and decrease…
Hypnotic suggestion modulates visual recognition of negative words depending on word arousal
The Influence of Negative Orthographic Neighborhood in the Lexical Decision Task: Valence and Arousal Contributions
This study investigated whether the visual recognition of neutral words might be influenced by the emotional dimensions (i.e., valence and arousal) of orthographically similar lexical representations, and whether this might also depend on emotional-related traits of participants (i.e., alexithymia). To this end, 108 participants performed a lexical decision task with 80 neutral words with a higher frequency orthographic neighbor that varied in va…
Word imageability and orthographic neighbourhood effects on memory: A study in free recall and recognition
This study investigated the effects of word imageability and orthographic neighbourhood size, as well as their combined effects, in free recall and recognition memory. A total of 45 young adults performed recall and recognition tasks on the same word materials. Word imageability and orthographic neighbourhood size were orthogonally manipulated across four word conditions: low-imageability words – high N, saveur [flavor], low-imageability words – …
Subjective Lexical Characteristics: Comparing Ratings of Members of the Target Population and Doctors for Words Stemming from a Medical Context
The present study investigated the subjective lexical characteristics of words stemming from a medical context by comparing estimations of the target population (age range = 46–89) and of doctors. A total of 58 members of the target population and 22 oncologists completed measures of subjective frequency and emotional valence for words previously collected in interviews of announcement of cancer diagnosis. The members of the target population als…
The Effect of Orthographic Neighborhood in the Reading Span Task
Interaction between phonemic abilities and syllable congruency effect in young readers
This study investigated whether and to what extent phonemic abilities of young readers (Grade 5) influence syllabic effects in reading. More precisely, the syllable congruency effect was tested in the lexical decision task combined with masked priming in eleven-year-old children. Target words were preceded by a pseudo-word prime sharing the first three letters that either corresponded to the syllable (congruent condition) or not (incongruent cond…
The Effect of Prime Duration in Masked Orthographic Priming Depends on Neighborhood Distribution
A lexical decision task was used with a masked priming procedure to investigate whether and to what extent neighborhood distribution influences the effect of prime duration in masked orthographic priming. French word targets had two higher frequency neighbors that were either distributed over two letter positions (e.g., LOBE/robe-loge) or concentrated on a single letter position (e.g., FARD/tard-lard). Word targets were preceded by their highest …
InfoSyll: A Syllabary Providing Statistical Information on Phonological and Orthographic Syllables
Activation of syllable units during visual recognition of French words in Grade 2
The aim of the study was to investigate the syllable activation hypothesis in French beginning readers. Second graders performed a lexical decision task in which bisyllabic words were presented in two colours that either matched the syllable boundaries or not. The data showed that the children were sensitive to syllable match and to syllable complexity. In addition, good readers were slowed down while poor readers were speeded up by syllable matc…
Aging and Lexical Inhibition: The Effect of Orthographic Neighborhood Frequency in Young and Older Adults
The aim of this study was to examine whether the lexical inhibition underlying orthographic neighborhood effects in visual word recognition is changed with aging. To do so, orthographic neighborhood frequency was manipulated for French words that had either no higher frequency neighbor (e.g., taupe), or at least one higher frequency neighbor (e.g., the word loupe has two higher frequency neighbors, coupe and soupe). Young adults (mean age = 20.9 …
The Effect of the Balance of Orthographic Neighborhood Distribution in Visual Word Recognition
The present study investigated whether the balance of neighborhood distribution (i.e., the way orthographic neighbors are spread across letter positions) influences visual word recognition. Three word conditions were compared. Word neighbors were either concentrated on one letter position (e.g.,nasse/basse-lasse-tasse-masse) or were unequally spread across two letter positions (e.g.,pelle/celle-selle-telle-perle), or were equally spread across tw…
