Are phonological influences on lexical (mis)selection the result of a monitoring bias?

A monitoring bias account is often used to explain speech error patterns that seem to be the result of an interactive language production system, like phonological influences on lexical selection errors. A biased monitor is suggested to detect and covertly correct certain errors more often than others. For instance, this account predicts that errors that are phonologically similar to intended words are harder to detect than those that are phonologically dissimilar.

Intra- and interhemispheric number priming: evidence for rapid integration of magnitude information between hemispheres.

In the present study we investigated whether the corpus callosum exerts an inhibitory or an integrative influence on hemispheric communication of magnitude information by presenting prime-target pairs to the same or opposite hemispheres (intra- and interhemispheric number priming trials). During the experiment, subjects were asked to compare the targets with a fixed reference number and classify them as small or large. The prime stimulus was irrelevant for the task.

Neighborhood consistency in mental arithmetic: Behavioral and ERP evidence.

Background: Recent cognitive and computational models (e.g. the Interacting Neighbors Model) state that in simple multiplication decade and unit digits of the candidate answers (including the correct result) are represented separately.

Bilateral processing of redundant information: the influence of stimulus notation and processing speed in number comparison.

Improved performance is generally observed when identical copies of a stimulus are presented bilaterally to both visual half fields (VHFs), relative to unilateral single presentations. We investigated the influence of stimulus notation and processing speed on this bilateral redundancy gain (B-RG) in number comparison. Two experiments were performed with consistent (i.

Effects of interhemispheric communication on two-digit arabic number processing.

We investigated interhemispheric communication and hemispheric style differences (analytic vs. holistic) in two-digit Arabic number comparison by employing the divided visual field paradigm. Interhemispheric communication modulated two-digit number comparison in a very specific way.
