There were 6 conditions (Kanji high visual familiarity words, Kanji low visual familiarity words, Hiragana high visual familiarity words, Hiragana low visual familiarity words, Kanji nonwords, and Hiragana nonwords).
A common reduction in cognitive processing may explain reduced warm glow and decelerated Stroop responses: In hypochondriacal attitudes the cognitive capacity to process two features - positivity and familiarity; words and colors - may be low.
Any differences in familiarity, word frequency, word length, and other variables might have been problematic for interpreting activation differences in Greek and English (within participant group) but would not affect the interpretation of our findings that activation was higher for bilinguals than monolinguals on English words only (i.e., group differences when the stimuli are held constant).
These models include a word-recognition stage whose latency is affected by language properties such as word familiarity and word length, so they do make some use of context and word shape, but they cannot read at all when the letter information is knocked out.
Our findings also showed that the left-occipito/temporal area, reflecting the activity of the left fusiform gyrus (BA37) of the temporal lobe, was affected by the visual familiarity of words, thus explaining its lexical sensitivity (word vs. non-word discrimination).
Nevertheless, it ended with the feeling that, for all their familiarity, the words remained strange; voluptuous but behind thick glass, "beautiful opiates/as brilliant as poppies, as absurd".
This finding suggests an effect of visual familiarity of words as unitary visual objects.
In order to achieve a retention interval more comparable to that employed in studies of the influence of mood on recollection and familiarity for words whilst avoiding ceiling effects, we reduced exposure time and made use of an incidental monitoring task that did not require aspects of picture content to be actively processed.
Skills involved in on-task compensation may either be related to literacy ability, such as a larger vocabulary leading to higher familiarity with words in the task, or unrelated to literacy ability, i.e., higher processing speed (Catts, Gillispie, Leonard, Kail, & Miller, 2002; Johnson, Im-Bolter, & Pascual-Leone, 2003).
Twelve variables, including objective and rated AoA, the percentage of name agreement, H value, concept agreement, concept familiarity, subjective word frequency, image agreement, image variability, visual complexity, word length and naming latency, were made available for 435 line-drawing object pictures.
This study examined how familiarity of word structures influenced articulatory control in children and adolescents during repetition of real words (RWs) and nonwords (NWs).
