Cognitive Diversity in a Healthy Aging Cohort
Objective: Studies of "healthy" cognitive aging often focus on a limited set of measures that decline with age. The current study argues that defining and supporting healthy cognition requires understanding diverse cognitive performance across the lifespan. Method: Data from the Cambridge Centre for Aging and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) cohort was examined across a range of cognitive domains. Performance was related to lifestyle including education, s…
Neurocognitive Contexts for Morphological Complexity
We review experimental findings about the processing of morphologically complex words, and provide a neuro-cognitive account of the mechanisms that underlie this processing. Within the framework of the brain network that supports language comprehension, we argue that complex words created by regular and rule-based combinations, such as regular inflections in English (e.g. played, jumps), engage a left-lateralized frontotemporal subsystem, special…
Making Sense of Semantic Ambiguity
Morphological and semantic effects in visual word recognition
Some theories of visual word recognition postulate that there is a level of processing or representation at which morphemes are treated differently fromwhole words. Support for these theories has been derived frompriming experiments in which the recognition of a target word is facilitated by the prior presentation of a morphologically related prime (departure-DEPART). In English, such facilitation could be due to morphological relatedness, or to …
Morphology and meaning in the English mental lexicon.
The authors investigated the lexical entry for morphologically complex words in English. Six experiments, using a cross-modal repetition priming task, asked whether the lexical entry for derivationally suffixed and prefixed words is morphologically structured and how this relates to the semantic and phonological transparency of the surface relationship between stem and affix. There was clear evidence for morphological decomposition of semanticall…
The mental representation of lexical form
Functional parallelism in spoken word-recognition
Processing Utterances in Discourse Contexts
The on-line interpretation of utterances in discourse contexts was investigated by varying the type of dependency between an utterance and its context. Listeners heard short sequences of utterances ending in incomplete fragments. The fragments varied in length and in whether their anaphoric linkage to the context (by repeated names, pronouns or zero anaphors) required inferences to be resolved. The subject's task was to name a visual continuation…
The temporal structure of spoken language understanding
Processing interactions and lexical access during word recognition in continuous speech
Some developmental aspects of sentence processing and memory
Three groups of children, aged 5, 7 and 11 years, were tested in a clause-memory task, in order to investigate the role of syntactic and semantic factors in children's recall and processing of spoken continuous prose. The children listened to a story, which was interrupted at intervals during which they were asked to repeat verbatim the last sentence they heard. The test-sentences always consisted of two clauses: either of the main–main type, or …
Sentence Perception as an Interactive Parallel Process
The restoration of disrupted words to their original form in a sentence shadowing task is dependent upon semantic and syntactic context variables, thus demonstrating an on-line interaction between the structural and the lexical and phonetic levels of sentence processing.
Linguistic Structure and Speech Shadowing at Very Short Latencies
