Area of Science:

  • Psycholinguistics
  • Cognitive Science
  • Speech Production

Background:

  • Speech errors are common and often repaired by speakers.
  • Repair planning considers the abandoned error word, which shares meaning or form.
  • The influence of error lexical representations on repair planning is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether the lexical representations of speech errors influence repair planning.
  • To examine the effects of semantic and phonological relationships between error words and target words on repair production.

Main Methods:

  • Two picture-naming experiments were conducted.
  • Context pictures were sometimes replaced with target pictures.
  • Picture names were related semantically or phonologically, or unrelated.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Target picture-naming latencies were measured under interrupted and completed context name conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Interrupted trials showed semantic interference and phonological facilitation.
    • Completed trials demonstrated semantic facilitation and phonological interference.
    • These findings indicate that speech errors significantly influence repair production.

    Conclusions:

    • The lexical properties of abandoned error words play a crucial role in speech repair planning.
    • The polarity of semantic and phonological effects depends on whether the context name is interrupted or completed.
    • Results are explained by existing literature on context effects in word production.
