Research on spoken word production has been approached from two angles. In one
research tradition, the analysis of spontaneous or induced speech errors led to models that …

A discussion of modularity in language production processes, with special emphasis on
processes for retrieving words and building syntactic structures for a to-be-uttered sentence …

A New York Times Notable Book: A psychologist's “grip** and thought-provoking” look at
how and why our brains sometimes fail us (Steven Pinker, author of How the Mind Works). In …

Two influential models of recognition memory, the unequal-variance signal-detection model
and a dual-process threshold/detection model, accurately describe the receiver operating …

Theories of lexical representation in production provide sophisticated accounts of the way in
which information is activated during lexical access (eg, Levelt, Roelofs, & Meyer, 1999), but …

This paper presents the Featural and Unitary Semantic Space (FUSS) hypothesis of the
meanings of object and action words. The hypothesis, implemented in a statistical model, is …

Two computational models of lexical access in aphasic speakers are compared. Both are
derived from an interactive two-step theory of retrieval based on spreading activation. The …

Two experiments investigated whether lexical retrieval for speaking can be characterized as
a competitive process by assessing the effects of semantic context on picture and word …

Recently, theorists have suggested a close relation between the codes activated during
language processing and those involved in STM. In order to further investigate this …

We hypothesized that distinct cognitive processes underlying oral and written picture
naming depend on intact function of different, but overlap**, regions of the left hemisphere …
