Sentence examples for rotated words from inspiring English sources

Word inversion was performed to determine whether rotated words lose their linguistic properties.

The proof that rotated words are orthographic in nature (just not familiar) is given by the presence of implicit reading effects (i.e. words/pseudowords differences) for mirror words.

As for late semantic effects, the data from this experiment show how lexical access was delayed (by about 100 ms) but not disrupted for rotated words.

Low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) revealed an increase in N1 to rotated words primarily in the right occipital lobe (BA 18), which may indicate an effect of stimulus familiarity.

As for the greater activation of the right occipital lobe in response to rotated words, these findings are consistent with recent fMRI data showing increased activity of right hemispheric regions such as the right ventral-temporal areas [ 17], right-superior temporal gyrus [ 18], right occipital cortex and right fusiform/lingual gyrus [ 19] during reading of mirror vs. standard words.

As for our specific task (involving target detection), it may be hypothesized that the presence of rotated words and pseudowords in an unblocked design might have induced the subjects to switch to a more local level of analysis than required by the same task for standard letters.

People can learn to perceive spectrally-rotated syllables, words and sentences as speech, but only after some hours of training [8], [9].

N1 (135–215 ms) component was greater to rotated than standard words, and to target than non-target letters at the left lateral occipital sites.

LORETA [ 28] performed on the grand mean (N = 13) of the difference-wave (ERP responses to rotated minus standard words) in the N1 latency range (start 160, duration 20) showed a strong focus of activity in the right occipital lobe (BA 18) and a smaller focus in the left inferior occipital gyrus (BA19), as reported in Table 1.

ERPs showed an early effect of word orientation at ~150 ms, with larger N1 amplitudes to rotated than to standard words.

The data of the present study evidenced a greater N1 to rotated than to standard words.
