    Speech-based codes accessed during sentence comprehension decay rapidly. Rhyme priming effects diminished with longer word delays, indicating quick phonological code loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Psycholinguistics
    • Speech Processing

    Background:

    • Understanding how the brain processes spoken language is crucial for explaining sentence comprehension.
    • The role of phonological codes in real-time language processing remains an active area of research.
    • Previous studies suggest both abstract and concrete representations are involved in speech perception.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the time course of phonological code access and maintenance during sentence comprehension.
    • To determine how long speech-based representations persist after initial processing.
    • To examine the relationship between phonological codes and lexical decision tasks.

    Main Methods:

    • A lexical decision task was employed using visually presented rhyme pairs (e.g., eight-late).

  • One word of the rhyme pair was embedded within a sentence context.
  • Priming effects were measured based on the time interval between the sentence word and the visual target.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant rhyme priming was observed when the prime and target were separated by four intervening words.
    • Rhyme priming effects were not found when the prime and target were separated by seven intervening words.
    • This pattern suggests a rapid decay of the phonological code for the sentence word.

    Conclusions:

    • Phonological codes for words in sentences are accessed rapidly upon encountering the word.
    • These speech-based codes undergo a quick decay, with limited persistence beyond a few hundred milliseconds.
    • The findings support models of sentence comprehension that incorporate transient phonological representations.
