    Cohort theory suggests initial sounds activate word groups. Experiments show initial sound priming works, but end-sound priming also aids auditory word recognition, challenging the theory.

    Area of Science:

    • Psycholinguistics
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Speech Perception

    Background:

    • Cohort theory posits that spoken word recognition involves activating a cohort of words matching initial sound sequences.
    • Auditory word recognition models aim to explain how listeners identify words in continuous speech.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To test predictions of cohort theory regarding phonological priming in auditory word recognition.
    • To investigate the role of word-initial versus word-final phonological information in spoken word identification.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a priming technique with target words presented in noise at varying signal-to-noise ratios.
    • Employed three experiments manipulating phonological overlap between prime and target stimuli (initial and final phonemes).

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Measured participants' ability to identify target words following different priming conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Consistent phonological priming effects were observed across all three experiments.
    • Experiments 1 and 2 supported cohort theory, demonstrating priming based on shared initial phonemes.
    • Experiment 3 revealed priming effects for targets sharing final phonemes, which is inconsistent with core cohort theory predictions.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings support the role of word-initial phonology in activating lexical candidates, aligning with cohort theory.
    • The unexpected priming from word-final phonemes suggests limitations in the original cohort model.
    • Results necessitate refinement of current auditory word recognition models to incorporate broader phonological processing.
