Orthographic influences on phoneme deletion response times.

The aim of this paper is to provide further evidence that orthography plays a central role in phonemic awareness, by demonstrating an orthographic congruency effect in phoneme deletion. In four initial phoneme deletion experiments, adult participants produced the correct response more slowly with orthographically mismatched stimulus-response pairs (e.g.

The delayed trigger voice key: an improved analogue voice key for psycholinguistic research.

Many researchers rely on analogue voice keys for psycholinguistic research. However, the triggering of traditional simple threshold voice keys (STVKs) is delayed after response onset, and the delay duration may vary depending on initial phoneme type. The delayed trigger voice key (DTVK), a stand-alone electronic device that incorporates an additional minimum signal duration parameter, is described and validated in two experiments.
