Procesamiento morfológico en el reconocimiento de palabras: una revisión con especial referencia a los datos en español. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar de forma organizada los resultados que apoyan el procesamiento de las unidades morfológicas de palabras aisladas desde distintos paradigmas experimentales. Para ello se han revisado tres hipótesis que proponen distintas soluciones al problema del papel de la morfología en el acceso al léxico: a) segmentación obligatoria, b) listado exhaustivo y c) hipótesis mixta. Se barajan los problemas y ventajas de cada una de ellas, y de los modelos que representan, a la luz de los datos que provienen de las siguientes manipulaciones experimentales: pseudopalabras estructuradas morfológicamente, palabras monomorfémicas versus palabras polimorfémicas, estudios de priming morfológico y comparación entre frecuencia acumulada y frecuencia superficial.

Listeners generally detect syllables faster than phonemes in overt speech. This ���syllable advantage��� holds robustly for utterance-initial CV vs. C targets [Segui et al., 1981. Phoneme monitoring, syllable monitoring and lexical access. British Journal of Psychology, 72(4), 471���477]. We report a syllable advantage when monitoring inner speech. Spanish-speaking Argentinian participants presented with pictures were faster and more accurate at detecting CV than C targets at the beginning of the pictures��� names. This CV over C advantage maintained, although substantially weakened, after adding CV��� foils in CV-target trials, a manipulation logically more detrimental to CV- than C-detection. Our results converge with previous studies showing intriguing parallelisms between overt and inner speech perception and processing, supporting a restricted version of Levelt���s perceptual-loop hypothesis. We discuss what common basic units of processing could be, borrowing from the articulatory phonology framework and its proposal of a ���common currency��� between speakers and listeners.

Previous research suggests that while free morpheme identification during visual word recognition is position-independent, suffixes are activated only when they occur after the stem. Surprisingly, prefix position coding has not yet been assessed. This point is important given that some experimental studies demonstrated clear processing differences between prefixes and suffixes. In this study we examined whether Spanish suffixes and prefixes are recognized independently of their position by adapting the Crepaldi, Rastle, and Davis’s (2010) experimental paradigm. We observed that morphologically structured nonwords in which the affix occurs in its typical position (e.g., curiosura, disgrave) are rejected more slowly and less accurately than their matched orthographic controls (e.g., curiosula, dusgrave). Crucially, such morpheme interference effect is completely absent when the morphemes are inverted (i.e., uracurios and gravedis are rejected as easily as ulacurios and gravedus). Our data provide strong support to the hypothesis that all affix processing is sensitive to position.

This article first describes Jacques Mehler's initial efforts to make psycholinguistics and, more generally, the cognitive sciences better known during his first years in Paris. Two lines of research on sentence perception, that we conducted in collaboration with Jacques, are then presented to illustrate his focus. In the Seventies, sentence perception was a central topic in psycholinguistics, with contrasting proposals of syntactic autonomy and interactivity being confronted. A first series of experiments aimed at defining the role of syntax in lexical selection process as revealed by the rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of the words in a sentence. The second series, using the phoneme monitoring technique, examined the clause as a processing unit during the auditory perception of sentences. These results confirm the fundamental role played by syntax in language processing.

- Abstract
espanolLa comprension del significado oracional depende en gran parte de la facilidad con que los hablantes asignan roles tematicos (como Agente o Paciente) a los sintagmas nominales. Este procedimiento es particularmente util para comprender clausulas subordinadas de relativo, ya que al procesarlas los hablantes deben discernir si se trata de relativas con extraccion de Sujeto (S) ([El joven1 [que1Sujeto vino] trajo una valija]) o con extraccion de Objeto (O) (El joven1 [que1Objetoyo salude] trajo una valija). Trabajos previos han mostrado que el primer tipo de extraccion resulta mas facil de procesar que el segundo y se ha sugerido que factores como el orden de palabras y la presencia o ausencia de marca de Caso podrian influir en el procesamiento de las relativas de O. El presente estudio exploratorio es el primero que aprovecha la flexibilidad morfosintactica del espanol para examinar cuatro estructuras que combinan distintos ordenes de palabras con presencia o ausencia de marca de Caso. Luego de ofrecer un analisis de frecuencia de uso de estas estructuras en un corpus escrito del espanol, se presentan dos estudios: uno sobre comprension espontanea (asignacion de roles) sin limite de tiempo y otro de eleccion de opciones con limite de tiempo. Los resultados sugieren que tanto el orden canonico como la marca de Caso benefician la comprension EnglishMost of the comprehension of sentential meaning depends on how easily speakers assign thematic roles (such as Agent or Patient) to noun phrases. This process is particularly useful for comprehending relative clauses given that when processing them speakers need to discern if they are dealing with a Subject (S) relative clause (El joven1 [que1Sujeto vino] trajo una valija, ‘The young man1 [that1Subject came] brought the suitcase’) or an Object (O) relative clause (El joven1 [que1Objetoyosalude] trajo una valija, ‘[The young man1 [that1ObjectI greeted] brought the suitcase]’). Previous research has shown that the former type is easier to process than the latter type and it has been suggested that factors such as word order and the presence or absence of Case marking could impact the processing of O relative clauses. The present exploratory study is the first one to exploit the morphosyntactic flexibility of Spanish in order to examine four structures that combine different word orders with the presence or absence of Case marking. Following the presentation of a frequency analysis of these structures in a written corpus of Spanish, this paper presents two studies: one about spontaneous comprehension (thematic role assignment) without time limit and another one in which responses were timed. Results suggest that both canonical word order and Case marking positively impact comprehension

\ud Aims\ud How long does it take for word reading to become automatic? Does the appearance and development of automaticity differ as a function of orthographic depth (e.g. French vs. English)? These questions were addressed in a longitudinal study of English and French beginning readers. The study focused on automaticity as obligatory processing as measured in the Stroop test. \ud Method\ud Measures of decoding ability and the Stroop effect were taken at three time points during the first grade (and 2nd grade in the UK) in 84 children. The study was the first to adjust the classic Stroop effect for inhibition (of distracting colors). \ud Results\ud The adjusted Stroop effect was zero in the absence of reading ability, and it was found to develop in tandem with decoding ability. After a further control for decoding, no effects of age or orthography were found on the adjusted Stroop measure. \ud Conclusion\ud The results are in line with theories of the development of whole word recognition that emphasize the importance of the acquisition of the basic orthographic code.

En la primera parte de este trabajo se presenta la construcción y el desarrollo de la Prueba Argentina Psicolingüística de Denominación de Imágenes (PAPDI). La misma tiene dos características que la diferencian de las pruebas actualmente disponibles en nuestro medio: (a) Los estímulos fueron seleccionados controlando las variables que afectan las etapas de análisis visual y reconocimiento de la imagen (Complejidad visual y Concordancia con la imagen) y el conocimiento conceptual (Variabilidad de la Imagen y Familiaridad) del dibujo del objeto también se manipularon las variables (Frecuencia léxica y Edad de adquisición) que afectan la etapa que busca evaluar la prueba: activación, selección y recuperación de la etiqueta léxica. Los índices que operacionalizan a las variables son dependientes de la cultura y de la lengua de dónde se obtengan, por ello se tomaron sus valores de normas argentinas. (b) Las claves semánticas han sido elaboradas cuidadosamente, siguiendo las normas de producción de atributos semánticos también recolectadas en nuestro país, ya que el uso de las mismas permite generar hipótesis más precisas acerca de la localización del déficit. Por lo tanto, se presenta el proceso de construcción y desarrollo de la prueba mostrando cómo se tuvieron en cuenta estas particularidades, cuáles variables han sido controladas y cuáles manipuladas, y su justificación. Por último, los resultados de la prueba piloto permitieron seleccionar 30 ítems y la constitución de la versión final de la prueba, que es lo suficientemente breve para su uso en la clínica y de libre acceso. In the current paper, first part, we present the design and development of the Argentinean Psycholinguistic Image Naming Test (PAPDI). This test has two characteristics that make it different from those currently available in our country: (a) the stimuli have been selected by controlling the variables that affect the stages of visual analysis and image recognition (Visual Complexity and Image Agreement) and conceptual knowledge (Image Variability and Familiarity) of the drawing of the object; and the variables (Frequency of Use and Age of Acquisition) that affect the stage that seeks to evaluate the test were manipulated: activation, selection and retrieval of the lexical label (phonological form of the name), to generate a gradient of difficulty in the items of the test. However, the variable Naming Agreement, that also affects this stage, was controlled to selected pictures with only one predominating name. The quantification of these factors by means of specific variables is influenced by the cultural and linguistic context from which they were obtained, consequently we took their values from Argentinean normative data base and (b) semantic cues were elaborated according to semantic feature production norms also from Argentina. The phonological cues corresponded to the first syllable of the object's name. Their use allows to generate more precise hypotheses about the location of the deficit and allows to infer relevant information about the cognitive profile. Therefore, the process of construction and development of the test is presented, showing how these particularities were taken into consideration, which variables were controlled and which were manipulated, and their justification. For the design of the test 62, black and white pictures were originally selected from the 400 pictures taken from Cycowicz's set (of frequent use in Experimental Psychology and Neuropsychology). They correspond to concrete concepts from different semantic categories belonging to both living andnon living domains. The criteria used to include those images were that they were moderately complex (in quantity of lines and details), moderately familiar and that they had a mean image variability value. They had to have a medium to high concordance degree between the mental image and its corresponding representation. Besides, these images had to have a naming agreement superior to 80%. To conform the first version of the test, the 62 images selected were ordered according to the variable Age of Acquisition and each image was assigned its corresponding semantic and phonological cues. The former were extracted from the Argentinean norms considering the most relevant features. The second consisted on the word´s first syllable. A pilot study with healthy population (n = 50), of different ages, both sexes and three educational levels, was carried out through which 30 images were selected that constituted the test´s final version. The deleted items were: figures that did not evokea univocal response, that is, they were easily confused with other objects; figures that had more than one acceptable answer although not all were correct; and items that presented a ceiling effect where the scores accumulated in high scores and did not allow to discriminate the participants' ability to select, retrieve and produce a word (only 25 and 30% of the items were retained). In the test´s final version, the items were reordered according to the Age of Acquisition and Frequency values and their difficulty in naming (following the percentage of successes in the spontaneous response). And images that were contain in another naming tests were deleted. The test is short enough for use in the clinic and freely accessible. The second part of the paper presents the psychometric studies that provide evidence of their relevance and validity.

L’introduction de la notion de lexique mental en psycholinguistique conduit a s’interroger sur le mode de representation des unites lexicales ainsi que sur les procedures qui permettent l’acces a ces unites lors de la production et de la perception du langage. Deux principales familles de modeles theoriques ont ete a l’origine des travaux conduits dans ce domaine : les modeles algorithmiques de recherche, d’inspiration IA (intelligence artificielle), et les modeles d’activation de proprietes, d’inspiration biologique. Suite aux propositions issues de la perspective connexionniste en psychologie cognitive, ce sont les modeles d’activation qui sont devenus clairement dominants. La prise en consideration de la structure interne des mots, et en particulier de leur organisation morphologique, a joue un role determinant pour la caracterisation des representations lexicales et des procedures d’acces. Considerer le morpheme comme l’unite de base du lexique mental conduit a envisager l’acces aux mots morphologiquement complexes sous la forme de procedures de nature combinatoire. Cette dimension combinatoire du traitement est centrale pour rendre compte de la contribution des mots lors de la production et de la comprehension des phrases. En effet, il est clair que la signification d’une phrase est determinee principalement, et de maniere conjointe, par la signification des mots qui la composent et par les relations syntaxiques que ces mots entretiennent au sein de cette phrase. Cela signifie que lors de leur traitement, les mots de la phrase doivent etre non seulement « actives » mais encore combines dans une structure plus large qui les integre. Nous illustrons brievement la construction incrementale de la phrase en temps reel dans le cadre du modele MUC (Memory Unification Control).

The study of the cognitive processes in the production of language demands careful selection of stimuli and requires normative databases. The main goal of the present research was to collect normative data for the set of 400 figures taken from Cycowicz, Friedman, Rothstein, and Snodgrass (1997; including the 260 figures of Snodgrass & Vanderwart, 1980) using a sample of native Argentinean Spanish speakers. The pictures have been standardized on the following variables: name agreement, image agreement, familiarity, visual complexity, image variability, age of acquisition, and word association. The obtained norms were compared with the normative data of other studies in Spanish, English, and French. This comparison highlights the variability of some of the measures (e.g., name agreement in naming and verbal association) across the different studies and confirms the necessity of elaborating specific norms that are adapted to the studied population’s linguistic and sociocultural context. The norms described may be downloaded as supplemental materials for this article from http://brm.psychonomic-journals.org/content/supplemental.

In this research, we combine a cross-form word–picture visual masked priming procedure with an internal phoneme monitoring task to examine repetition priming effects. In this paradigm, participants have to respond to pictures whose names begin with a prespecified target phoneme. This task unambiguously requires retrieving the word-form of the target picture's name and implicitly orients participants' attention towards a phonological level of representation. The experiments were conducted within Spanish, whose highly transparent orthography presumably promotes fast and automatic phonological recoding of subliminal, masked visual word primes. Experiments 1 and 2 show that repetition primes speed up internal phoneme monitoring in the target, compared to primes beginning with a different phoneme from the target, or sharing only their first phoneme with the target. This suggests that repetition primes preactivate the phonological code of the entire target picture's name, hereby speeding up internal monitoring, which is necessarily based on such a code. To further qualify the nature of the phonological code underlying internal phoneme monitoring, a concurrent articulation task was used in Experiment 3. This task did not affect the repetition priming effect. We propose that internal phoneme monitoring is based on an abstract phonological code, prior to its translation into articulation.

The present study was designed to examine the processes by which grammatical gender is assigned during word production. French words varied in strength of sublexical cues, based on whether the word ending was typical for one gender rather than neutral about gender, and lexical cues, derived from the associated definite article being uninformative about gender for words beginning with a vowel, but informative for words beginning with a consonant. In Experiment 1, when native French speakers classified the gender of mentally evoked names of pictures, no effects of these cues were obtained. Experiment 2 used an improved methodology, with participants classifying the gender of words translated from English. English-speaking learners of French were influenced strongly by lexical and sublexical cues, while French speakers showed a weaker influence. However, for both speaker groups, words whose gender was classified slowly during recognition were also classified slowly during production, and error rates were similarly correlated across tasks. The conclusion was that gender is not equally available for all words once the associated “lemma” is accessed. Current models of language production may have to incorporate mechanisms allowing differential speed of access to gender information depending on a word’s formal properties.

41st Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic-Society, NEW ORLEANS, LA, 2000; International audience; We report the results of a large-scale picture naming experiment in which we evaluated the potential contribution of nine theoretically relevant factors to naming latencies. The experiment included a large number of items and a large sample of participants. In order to make this experiment as similar as possible to classic picture naming experiments, participants were familiarized with the materials during a training session. Speeded naming latencies were determined by a software key on the basis of the digital recording of the responses. The effects of various variables on these latencies were assessed with multiple regression techniques, using a repeated measures design. The interpretation of the observed effects is discussed in relation to previous studies and current views on lexical access during speech production.

Semantic transparency is a crucial factor in the processing of morphologically complex words, but seems to have a different impact depending on experimental conditions and languages. In English, semantic transparency is necessary to produce morphological priming in cross-modal priming, but not as clearly so in masked priming. The available reports of priming effects for opaque prime-target pairs are not as clear-cut as to rule out an explanation in terms of orthographic overlap. Experiment 1 was set out to clarify that issue in French. The novel notion of “pseudo-derivation” we introduce proved useful to show that surface morphology alone can produce priming effects in masked priming. In contrast, pure orthographic overlap produces marginal inhibition. Experiment 2 used auditory-visual cross-modal priming and showed that only semantically transparent words facilitate the recognition of their base.

We investigated the lexical representation of morphologically complex words in French using a cross-modal priming experiment. We asked if the lexical representation for derivationally suffixed and prefixed words is morphologically structured and how this relates to the phonological transparency of the surface relationship between stem and affix. Overall we observed a clear effect of the morphological structure for derived words, an effect that is not explicable by a formal effect. Prefixed words prime their stems, even when they have a phonologically opaque relationship, and a prefixed word primes another prefixed word derived from the same stem. However, suffixed words prime their stems only if their relationship is phonologically transparent. Two suffixed words derived from the same stem prime each other. These two latter results differ from those observed in English by Marslen-Wilson, Tyler, Waksler, and Older (1994). We argue that it is the specific properties of the language, such as rhythm, that could explain the differences between the results observed for the two languages and we propose a model where prefixed and suffixed words are decomposed at different stages during their identification process.

Four experiments were carried out to examine phonological priming effects on bisyllabic target words. In Experiments 1a and 1b, auditorily presented monosyllabic word and pseudoword primes facilitated lexical decisions to auditorily presented bisyllabic words. This facilitation was found for primes overlapping the targets' initial syllable (e.g., "ver" [worm in French] primed "VERTIGE" [VERTIGO]) and for primes overlapping the targets' final syllable (e.g., ''tige'' [stem] primed "VERTIGE"). Experiment 2 replicated the initial-overlap effect for monosyllabic word primes using a crossmodal (auditory-visual) method; however no facilitation was observed for final-overlap nor for bisyllabic primes (e.g., "verger" [orchard] did not facilitate VERTIGE). In Experiment 3, the initial overlap facilitation effect was replicated in a naming task. These results are interpreted in terms of activation and deactivation of candidates.

In French words such as “absurde” (“bs/bt” words), the underlying linguistic code /b/ corresponds both to the spelling “b” and to the morphophonemic code {ab-} + {surd}. Yet, because of voice assimilation, the phonetic-acoustic and perceptual realization of the labial stop is [p] not [b]. In a phoneme monitoring task, listeners detected /b/ more often but more slowly than /p/ in “bs/bt” words. A phonemic gating task revealed the time course of phonetic judgments. The /b/ responses gradually increased and eventually overcame the initially dominant /p/ responses before words were identified, as a classic word-guessing gating task showed. A further phoneme monitoring task with nonwords that mimicked the “bs/bt” words confirmed that the linguistic code inducing /b/ responses built up prelexically. We propose that this code is lexically mediated by a cohort of words sharing the graphic code “b.” Alternatively, it could be conveyed by prefixes identified on-line, such as {ab-} in “absurde.”

This research studied the role of surface and cumulative word frequency in the processing and representation of morphologically complex suffixed words. Experiment 1 showed that auditory lexical decision times to suffixed words were influenced by their surface frequency. Experiments 2 and 3 showed a cumulative root frequency effect for high- and low-surface-frequency suffixed words. Experiment 4 demonstrated that lexical decision times for these words varied as a function of their position in their morphological family. These results support a view whereby suffixed words belonging to a given morphological family share the same lexical entry. Within a lexical entry, suffixed words belonging to the same family are organized on the basis of their surface frequency and compete with one another.

Two cross-modal experiments were conducted to investigate the format of lexical representation of suffixed derived words and their stems. The results show that only low frequency suffixed words (as opposed to high frequency suffixed words) yield a full priming effect of their stems. By contrast, a stem (e.g., travail) does not fully prime words belonging to the same morphological family (e.g., travailleur), although it primes high frequency suffixed words more than it does low frequency words. To account for these findings we propose a model in which the stem and high frequency affixed words are represented both as full forms and as decomposed morphemes while low frequency affixed words are represented only in a decomposed form.

The aim of the present study is to explore the representation and processing of inflectional morphology in Spanish. Experiment 1 compared the access time for words from the same base morpheme contrasted by the surface frequency of the masculine and feminine form, i.e., masculine-dominant items and feminine-dominant items. The results showed a surface frequency effect in both types of items. Experiment 2 compared the access time for masculine words having the same surface frequency but differing in their summed frequency (masculine plus feminine forms), the results showing no significant effect of this parameter. Finally, experiment 3 compared the access time for words from the same stem and contrasting by the surface frequencies for the singular and plural forms, i.e., singular-dominant and plural-dominant words. A clear frequency effect was observed for the singular-dominant words but not for plural-dominant ones. These results suggest that gender information is stored in the corresponding lexical entry and accessed from the full word form whereas the information about number is accessed from the stem corresponding to the singular form.

Two experiments, one using the masked priming technique combined with very brief prime exposures and the other using a new technique, the induction technique, were run in order to investigate the role of syllabic structure in speech production. Experiment 1 (masked priming) showed no effect when primes shared only the abstract syllabic structure without the phonological content, whereas the same picture stimuli produced a syllabic priming effect in Ferrand, Segui, and Grainger (1996, Experiment 4) when primes corresponded to full syllables. In contrast, the results of Experiment 2 (induction) showed that picture naming latencies were significantly faster when subjects had first read aloud a set of words with the same syllabic structure than when these words did not share the syllabic structure with the picture target. This result was also observed when the set was composed of nonwords. These results demonstrate that the abstract syllabic structure (independently of its phonological content) plays an important role in speech production depending on the task used.

Evidence is presented for a perceptual shift affecting consonant clusters that are phonotactically illegal, albeit pronounceable, in French. They are perceived as phonetically close legal clusters. Specifically, word-initial /dl/ and /tl/ are heard as /gl/ and /kl/, respectively. In 2 phonemic gating experiments, participants generally judged short gates--which did not yet contain information about the 2nd consonant /l/--as being dental stops. However, as information for the /l/ became available in larger gates, a perceptual shift developed in which the initial stops were increasingly judged to be velars. A final phoneme monitoring test suggested that this kind of shift took place on-line during speech processing and with some extratemporal processing cost. These results provide evidence for the automatic integration of low-level phonetic information into a more abstract code determined by the native phonological system.

The representation of morphological information in memory was investigated in three experiments using French monomorphemic words that can stand as the base of derivationally related words (e.g., the word PLUME forms the base of the words PLUMER, PLUMAGE, PLUMIER, . . .). The results of Experiment 1 yielded no effect of the Cumulative Frequency of all forms sharing the base morpheme. Experiments 2a and 2b showed an effect of Morphemic Frequency (the frequency of only the derived forms), but only when Word Frequency was less frequent than Morphemic Frequency. In Experiment 3, an effect of Word Frequency was observed only when Word Frequency was more frequent than Morphemic Frequency. The results are explained in terms of independent representations for the free word form and the form used as the base of the other members of the morphological family. q 1997 Academic Press

Two experimental paradigms were used to test for the presence of attentional bias in patients with panic disorders and social phobias. The results of the first experiment on the detection of visual probes employing the paradigm of MacLeod et al. indicate specific affects as a function of the physical or social emotional connotation of the probe words. Attention of patients with panic disorders was apparently restricted to words denoting physical threat. No effect related to the threatening connotation of words was observed for the social-phobia patients. In contrast, the control subjects presented an avoidance reaction for social-threat words. Experiment 2 showed an interference effect for words indicating physical threat in the panic disorder patients. However, the same subjects exhibited avoidance of social-threat words. The distractor effect for physical-threat words was only observed when these words were displayed in the left visual hemifield. This finding is interpreted as strengthening the hypothesis of a right-hemispheric specialization for the processing of words with emotional content.

French (or English) native listeners hear /kl/ when presented with the illegal consonant sequence */tl/. This robust case of perceptual repair is usually viewed as operating at a prelexical level of speech processing but the evidence against lexical feedback is somewhat weak. In this study, we report new data supporting the prelexical hypothesis, obtained with a paradigm that avoids most of the possible confounds in previous studies. In a cross-modal auditory–visual priming paradigm, lexical decisions to the same visual target “clavier” are facilitated by the auditory prime *tlavier, not by *dlavier. Likewise, the recognition of “glacier” is facilitated by *dlacier, not by *tlacier. To summarize, velar stop + /l/ words are exclusively facilitated by the dental-initial derived forms with the same voicing. Derived forms with the opposite voicing tend to induce inhibition rather than facilitation. Hence, the observed facilitation effects are not graded from */tl/ to */dl/ or vice versa. We argue that these rather surprising all-or-none priming effects exclude the possibility that the */tl/→/kl/ and */dl/→/gl/ repairs are due, even partly, to lexical feedback.

Objectif: Cette recherche étudie le traitement des informations contextuelles syntaxiques chez des sujets schizophrènes au moyen d'une tâche de double décision lexicale (décider si des suites de lettres forment ou non des mots de la langue française). Étant donné le caractère automatique de la syntaxe, nous supposons la préservation des processus de traitement de l'information syntaxique chez tous les sujets schizophrènes, y compris chez ceux présentant un trouble formel de la pensée (TFP) que nous appelons schizophrènes TFP+. Méthode: Vingt sujets témoins et 20 sujets schizophrènes (dont 10 schizophrènes TFP+) participent à une double tâche de décision lexicale contenant des transgressions syntaxiques. Résultats: Ils confirment notre hypothèse puisque nous montrons que l'ensemble des sujets (témoins et schizophrènes) est gêné dans la reconnaissance des mots lorsque ceux-ci présentent des transgressions grammaticales. Conclusions: Ces résultats contrastent avec les données concernant le traitement des informations contextuelles sémantiques chez les sujets schizophrènes, puisque les données de la littérature concluent à l'existence d'une anomalie du traitement de ces informations chez ces patients. Notre étude permet, par conséquent, de réfuter l'hypothèse d'un trouble généralisé de traitement du contexte chez les sujets schizophrènes.

EnglishPicture naming is a highly popular task in language production research. In particular, the frequency effect obtained in picture naming is generally considered as the signature of lexical access in speech production. However, it is quite well established that picture naming is very sensitive to the phonetic properties of the word to be produced, imposing some limitations in using this task. In this paper, we look for a frequency effect in the lexical access to picture names, by means of a phoneme-monitoring task. This task requires access to the object name’s phonological representation but not its actual articulation. We found a robust frequency effect. Two additional experiments—visual object identification and semantic categorization—allow us to assume that the locus for the frequency effect is lexical. francaisLa denomination d’images est une procedure privilegiee pour l’etude de la production du langage. En particulier, l’effet de frequence en denomination a ete considere comme la signature de l’acces au lexique mental. Toutefois, en raison de sa nature articulatoire, la reponse de denomination est tres sensible aux proprietes phonetiques du mot a produire, ce qui contraint son utilisation. Dans cet article, nous examinons l’effet de frequence dans l’acces lexical aux noms d’image en utilisant une tâche de detection de phoneme. Cette tâche necessite l’acces a la representation phonologique du nom de l’objet, mais pas son articulation. Nous trouvons un effet robuste de frequence. Deux experiences complementaires –identification d’objet visuel et categorisation semantique – nous permettent de supposer que le locus de l’effet de frequence est lexical.

Les origines de la psycologie scientifique: centieme anniversaire de l'Annee Psy chologique (1894-1994)Abstract L'Annee Psychologique was founded by Henri Beaunis and Alfred Binet in 1894. Since then it has become the most visible journal of experimental psycholo gy to be published in French. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the journal, Paul Fraisse and Juan Segui (1994) invited nearly twenty scientists to prepare a critical review of selected papers published in the early issues. The resultin g chapters address seven broad topics: (a) The history of the journal with a spe cial emphasis on the significant influence of its first two editors (i.e., Alfre d Binet and Henri Pieron); (b) Pieron's conception of the domain of experimental psychology, which differed notably from Wundt's; (c) early research on memory a nd classical conditioning; (d) Binet's contribution to the definition and measur ement of intelligence and to the development of Educational Psychology; (e) earl y research on sensory processes with a special emphasis on audition, cross-modal ity processes, and Pieron's attempt to characterize the relation between stimulu s intensity and simple reaction time; (f) early investigations of neurological d isorders, aphasia in particular, and delays in intellectual development; and (g) early applications of probability theory to statistical inference in psychology . These chapters highlight the numerous and significant contributions of French experimental psychologists in the first half of the 20th century.L'Annee Psychologique (AP) est maintenant centenaire. Fondee en 1894 par Henri B eaunos et Alfred Binet, l'AP se classe parmi les toutes premieres revues de psyc hologie scientifique a voir le jour. Elle a ete et elle reste toujours le plus v isible vehicule d'expression de la psychologie scientifique de langue francaise. Pour celebrer le centieme anniversaire de la revue, Paul Fraisse et Juan Segui (1994) ont eu l'idee d'inviter pres d'une vingtaine de collegues a porter un reg ard retrospectif et critique sur les travaux parus dans les premiers volumes de l'AP (fn.1). Les quatorze chapitres qui resultent de leur contribution sont pres entes ici en sept sections, qui correspondent a peu pres a l'organisation de l'o uvrage.L'historique de l'Annee Psychologique. Carpinto et Molto (premier chapitre) et F raisse (deuxieme chapitre) se donnent comme objectif de retracer les premiers pa s de la psychologie scientifique francaise. Ils rappellent que l'idee qu'on se f aisait de la psychologie (celle d'une discipline philosophique) et l'organisatio n des universites francaises n'ont pas favorise l'eclosion de la psychologie sci entifique. C'est au College de France et a l'Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (E PHE), donc en-dehors des facultes traditionnelles, que naitra la nouvelle psych ologie en France. Theodule Ribot, qui occupe en 1889 la chaire de Psychologie e xperimentale et comparee au College de France, confie a Henri Beaunis la directi on du nouveau Laboratoire de psychologie physiologique, rattache a la section de s Sciences naturelles de l'EPHE. Beaunis ne tarde pas a rassembler un exemplaire de tous les appareils en usage au laboratoire de Wundt et a elargir sa collecti on. La direction du laboratoire est cedee a Alfred Binet en 1894. Ce laboratoire se taille rapidement une excellente reputation et l'infrastructure de la psycho logie scientifique francaise prend une forme distincte. Toutefois, le probleme d e la communication des travaux experimentaux reste entier (fn.2). Pour repondre, du moins partiellement, a ce besoin, on cree en 1893 le Bulletin des travaux du laboratoire (de l'EPHE). Grace a Beaunis et Binet, ce bulletin devient en 1894 l'Annee Psychologique, l'organe officiel du premier noyau de psychologie experim entale en France. Des sa creation, la revue rassemble trois types de contributio ns: (1) des travaux scientifiques originaux, (2) des revues generales sur des su jets d'actualite et (3) des analyses de livres (et d'articles de revues a l'epoq ue) parus dans l'annee. …

Summary: Masked phonological priming in picture naming. In a recent article, Ferrand, Grainger and Segui (1994), using the masked priming paradigm with very brief prime exposures (29 ms), reported that the prior masked visual presentation ofthe same phonological wordform facilitated picture naming independently of whether the prime was the same word or a pseudo-homophone. Moreover, in terms of percent facilitation, this priming effect was similar in size, suggesting that it resulted from the preactivation in memory of the phonological representation corresponding to the picture name. In the present study, using the same masked priming paradigm, we demonstrate that when the prime is a homophone of a picture (e.g., ROWS for a picture of a ROSE) then facilitation effects measured relative to an unrelated prime word are practically the same size as when primes are nominally identical to the target (e.g., ROSE for the picture of a ROSE). These results allow us to reject an interpretation of priming effects in terms of semantic activation alone, because the homophone primes in the present study were semantically unrelated to the picture targets. The fact that picture naming was facilitated by the prior masked presentation of a homophone ofthe picture name suggests that the brief presentation of a written word is sufficient to activate phonological lexical representations that are involved in naming picture targets. These results suggest strongly that the representation underlying the masked repetition priming effect in picture naming is phonological in nature. Key words : picture naming, phonological priming, masking., Résumé II a été montré précédemment (Ferrand, Grainger et Segui, 1994) que le temps de dénomination du dessin d'un objet est facilité quand celui-ci est précédé par la présentation masquée de son nom ou d'un pseudo-homophone de celui-ci. Le but de la recherche présentée ici est de confirmer la nature phonologique de l'effet de facilitation en utilisant comme item amorce masqué un mot homophone mais non homographe du nom de l'objet. Les résultats obtenus montrent des effets de facilitation analogues pour les conditions de répétition et d'homophonie. Les mots «roue» et « roux » facilitent de manière comparable la dénomination du dessin d'une roue. Ces résultats suggèrent que l'effet de facilitation observé est indépendant de la relation sémantique existant entre le mot amorce et le nom de l'image. C'est le partage des propriétés phonologiques qui serait responsable de cette facilitation.

Four experiments conducted in French were performed to investigate the role of grammatical congruency and vocabulary class on lexical decision times. In Experiment 1, using a double lexical decision, slower reaction times were found for pairs of words that disagreed in gender or number than for congruent pairs. Experiments 2, 3, and 4 tested this effect with a standard priming procedure. The grammatical congruency effect varied according to presentation times (130, 150, or 500 msec) and to vocabulary class of context word (closed or open). Closed-class context words induced stronger grammatical effect than did open-class words. These results suggest that the grammatical link existing between the two words of a pair is more immediately computed when the first one is a closed-class item and argue for a distinct computational role of open- and closed-class words in sentence processing.

Introducción: La adaptación al dolor crónico no oncológico se asocia al desarrollo de psicopatología y afectaciones de la personalidad, generando severidad, cronicidad, menor respuesta al tratamiento y agravándose ante la neuropatía. Objetivo: Identificar perfiles psicopatológicos y de personalidad en pacientes con dolor crónico nociceptivo y neuropático, y su relación con la evolución e intensidad del dolor. Método: Estudio transversal, descriptivo y comparativo, realizado en la Unidad de Tratamiento del Dolor del Hospital Universitari Sagrat Cor, con reclutamiento aleatorio sistemático durante 25 meses; 115 pacientes fueron evaluados mediante la Escala de Hamilton para la Depresión y Ansiedad (HAM-D, HAM-A) y el Inventario Clínico Multiaxial de Millon III (MCMI-III). Resultados: El grupo neuropático obtuvo puntuaciones significativamente mayores en intensidad del dolor, sintomatología depresiva y ansiosa. Con más magnitud y frecuencia, relacionó la intensidad y evolución del dolor con sintomatología depresiva, ansiosa, síndromes clínicos y patrones de la personalidad. Ambos grupos revelaron tendencia al patrón de personalidad compulsiva, seguido del narcisista, histriónico y esquizoide. Conclusiones: En el tratamiento del dolor crónico, la presencia de distintos indicadores psicopatológicos requiere una estrategia individualizada.

The role of syllabic structure and stress assignment in the perceptual segmentation of Catalan and Spanish words is studied. Previous research suggested that the syllable is the segmentation unit for languages with clear syllabic structure. In Experiment 1, we found that syllabification effects are found in Catalan but only in unstressed first syllable word-targets. No syllabification is obtained when the first syllable is stressed. In Experiment 2, we failed to find any syllabification effect in Spanish, regardless of stress in word-targets. Nonetheless, Experiment 3 shows that syllabification effects emerge in Spanish when subjects are made to respond to 250 ms slower than in Experiment 2. On the basis of these results, a modified version of the original syllabic hypothesis is proposed. We propose that both task demands and language specific parameters play a role in the presence or absence of syllabification effects in segment detection.

Two experiments are described that measured lexical decision latencies and errors to five-letter French words with a single higher frequency orthographic neighbor and control words with no higher frequency neighbors. The higher frequency neighbor differed from the stimulus word by either the second letter (e.g., ASTRE-AUTRE) or the fourth letter (CHOPE-CHOSE). Neighborhood frequency effects were found to interact with this factor, and significant interference was observed only to CHOPE-type words. The effects of neighborhood frequency were also found to interact with the position of initial fixation in the stimulus word (either the second letter or the fourth letter). Interference was greatly reduced when the initial fixation was on the critical disambiguating letter (i.e., the letter P in CHOPE). Moreover, word recognition was improved when subjects initially fixated the second letter relative to when they initially fixated the fourth letter of a five-letter word, but this second-letter advantage practically disappeared when the stimulus differed from a more frequent word by its fourth letter. The results are interpreted in terms of the interaction between visual and lexical factors in visual work recognition.

Two experiments are reported that examine the effects of morphological overlap between prime and target in the masked priming paradigm. Experiment 1 demonstrated that the prior presentation of a higher frequency morphologically related word facilitates target processing. This facilitation obtained only to prefixed and not to suffixed targets and was independent of whether the prime was a stem or another prefixed form. In Experiment 2 morphological priming was estimated using both an unrelated and an orthographically related baseline. Approximately equivalent facilitation was observed for prefixed and suffixed primetarget pairs when measured against the orthographic control. The results suggest that the effects observed in masked morphological priming reflect the combination of both facilitatory and inhibitory mechanisms.

International audience; The present study investigated whether lexical access is affected by a regular phonological variation in connected speech: voice assimilation in French. Two associative priming experiments were conducted to determine whether strongly assimilated, potentially ambiguous word forms activate the conceptual representation of the underlying word. Would the ambiguous word form [sud] (either assimilated soute 'hold' or soude 'soda') facilitate "bagage" 'luggage', which is semantically related to soute but not to soude? In Experiment 1, words in either canonical or strongly assimilated form were presented as primes. Both forms primed their related target to the same extent. Potential lexical ambiguity did not modulate priming effects. In Experiment 2, the primes such as assimilated soute pronounced [sud] used in Experiment 1 were replaced with primes such as soude canonically pronounced [sud]. No semantic priming effect was obtained with these primes. Therefore, the effect observed for assimilated forms in Experiment 1 cannot be due to overall phonological proximity between canonical and assimilated forms. We propose that listeners must recover the intended words behind the assimilated forms through the exploitation of the remaining traces of the underlying form, however subtle these traces may be.

International audience; In a series of four experiments, it is shown that phonological repair mechanisms, known to operate in the auditory modality, are directly translated in the visual modality. This holds with the provision that printed stimuli are presented for a very brief duration and that the effect of phonological repair is tested after a delay of some 100 ms has elapsed after that presentation. The case of phonological repair chosen to exemplify the parallelism between print and speech is the prosthesis of /e/ in utterances beginning with /s/ followed by a consonant in Spanish. Native speakers of Spanish hear a prothetic /e/ in auditorily presented pseudowords such as special (/speθjal/, derived from "especial") as well as stuto (/stuto/, derived from "astuto"). It is shown here that they also hear that same vowel /e/ when presented with the printed pseudowords "special" and "stuto." This finding of a "phonological repair effect" in print bears implications on the issue of phonological activation from print, as well as on the prelexical locus and mandatory nature of phonological repair mechanisms in general.

International audience; Models of speech perception attribute a different role to contextual information in the processing of assimilated speech. The present study examined perceptual processing of regressive voice assimilation in French. This phonological variation is asymmetric in that assimilation is partial for voiced stops and near-complete for voiceless stops. Two auditory- visual cross-modal form priming experiments were used to examine perceptual compensation for assimilation in French words with voiceless versus voiced stop offsets. The results show that, for the former segments, assimilating context enhances underlying form recovery, whereas it does not for the latter. These results suggest that two sources of information -- contextual information, and bottom-up information from the assimilated forms themselves -- are complementary and both come into play during the processing of fully or partially assimilated word forms.

Four lexical decision experiments were performed with an orthographic priming paradigm in which test words were preceded by orthographically related or unrelated prime words. When prime words were presented for 350 ms without a mask, it was observed that primes that are lower frequency orthographic neighbors of the target interfered with target processing relative to an unrelated condition. When primes were higher frequency neighbors of the target, no interference or facilitation was observed. On the other hand, with briefly presented masked primes, interference was observed with higher frequency prime words. Finally, facilitatory effects in masked repetition priming were obtained with both high- and low-frequency prime-target pairs. The results are interpreted in terms of activation and selection processes operating in visual word recognition.
