Recognizing Spoken Words: The Neighborhood Activation Model
Paul A. Luce,David B. Pisoni +1 more
TL;DR: A model of auditory word recognition, the neighborhood activation model, was proposed, which describes the effects of similarity neighborhood structure on the process of discriminating among the acoustic‐phonetic representations of words in memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infants′ Sensitivity to Phonotactic Patterns in the Native Language
TL;DR: The authors investigated whether American infants are sensitive to the frequency with which certain phonetic patterns appear in English words and found that 9-month-olds listen significantly longer to the high-probability lists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probabilistic Phonotactics and Neighborhood Activation in Spoken Word Recognition
TL;DR: This article investigated the role of phonotactic information in spoken word recognition and found that the processing of spoken stimuli is a function of both facilitatory and competitive effects associated with the activation of similarity neighborhoods.
Journal ArticleDOI
When Words Compete: Levels of Processing in Perception of Spoken Words
TL;DR: This paper showed that when the lexical level is invoked using real words, competitive effects of neighborhood density are observed, when strong lexical effects are removed by the use of nonsense word stimuli, facilitatory effects of phonotactics emerge.
Journal ArticleDOI
A web-based interface to calculate phonotactic probability for words and nonwords in English.
TL;DR: One method of estimating phonotactic probabilities based on words in American English is described, used in a number of previous studies and now being made available to other researchers via a Web-based interface.
