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.

Further evidence that the SNARC effect is processed along a dual-route architecture: Evidence from the lateralized readiness potential.

In a binary response setting, it has been frequently observed that small numbers are reacted to faster with the left hand and large numbers with the right hand (i. e., the SNARC-effect) which reflects the spatial left-right orientation of the mental number line (Dehaene, Bossini, & Giraux, 1993).

Naming two-digit arabic numerals: evidence from masked priming studies.

The authors investigated how 2-digit Arabic numerals are named by looking at the effects of masked primes on the naming latencies. Target numerals were named faster when prime and target shared a digit at the same position (e.g.

Timed picture naming norms for 590 pictures in Dutch.

The present study presents timed norms for 590 pictures in Belgian Dutch. We determined name agreement and response latencies. Furthermore, we assessed which factors influenced the naming latencies of the pictures.

Hemispheric differences between left and right number representations: effects of conscious and unconscious priming.

The contribution of each hemisphere to the generation of number representations was investigated by two lateralized priming experiments in which participants had to compare Arabic digits to a fixed standard of four. In Experiment 1, unmasked primes (Arabic digits or word numerals) were used. In Experiment 2, masked primes were presented consciously or subconsciously.

Interhemispheric stroop-like interference in number comparison: evidence for strong interhemispheric integration of semantic number information.

Three experiments investigated interhemispheric interactions in number comparison using the interhemispheric Stroop-like paradigm (E. Ratinckx, M. Brysbaert, & B.
