Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.
Language Development01:22

Language Development

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...
Causes of Similarity-Dissimilarity Effect01:26

Causes of Similarity-Dissimilarity Effect

The similarity-dissimilarity effect, a fundamental concept in social psychology, explains how interpersonal similarities and differences influence attraction and social interactions. This effect is supported by three key psychological perspectives: balance theory, social comparison theory, and consensual validation.Balance Theory and Cognitive ConsistencyBalance theory, developed by Fritz Heider, posits that individuals seek cognitive consistency in their relationships. When two people share...
Impact of Schemas01:30

Impact of Schemas

Schemas are cognitive structures that provide a framework for interpreting and organizing social information. They help individuals navigate complex environments by offering expectations about people, events, and behaviors. Schemas influence attention, encoding, and retrieval processes, thereby shaping the entire trajectory of information processing in social contexts.Attention and Cognitive LoadDuring initial attention, schemas function as filters that prioritize schema-consistent information,...
Lateralization01:28

Lateralization

Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.
Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language01:10

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Area of Science:

  • Psycholinguistics
  • Cognitive Science
  • Speech Perception

Background:

  • Speech production involves speaker accommodation.
  • Speech perception is influenced by listener beliefs about speakers.
  • Perceptual accommodation effects on speech perception and lexical access are explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate carry-over effects of perceptual accommodation.
  • Examine how exposure to different English varieties impacts speech perception and lexical access tasks.
  • Determine if phonetic details and speaker origin are stored in the lexicon.

Main Methods:

  • Participants exposed to different English varieties before tasks.
  • Speech perception and lexical access experiments conducted.

  • Behavioral responses analyzed to assess influence of prior exposure.

    • Main Results:

    • Prior exposure to specific English varieties significantly influenced task performance.
    • Phonetic details of encountered speech are stored in the lexicon with speaker origin information.
    • Cross-dialectal priming effects observed, varying with task demands (word-level vs. phoneme-level access).

    Conclusions:

    • Listeners' perceptual accommodation can have carry-over effects.
    • An exemplar model of lexical representation, including word and phoneme levels, is supported.
    • Phonetically detailed lexical representations can be primed by dialect-associated exposure.
