Prior work has found a negative priming effect for a sequence, and more purely time-based negative priming has also been identified.

In this article, sequential and temporal negative priming are compared across modalities.

Despite its presence in all natural languages prosodic processing remains under-researched in cognitive science. Hemispheric specialisation for linguistic word-level prosody, specifically, sensitivity to stress typicality was examined using dichotic listening. In Experiment 1, participants named targets and in Experiment 2 participants classified targets as nouns or verbs.
