A large body of behavioral, neuroimaging, and electrophysiological studies have
investigated the consequences of co-activation of representations during word production …

Research on spoken word production has been approached from two angles. In one
research tradition, the analysis of spontaneous or induced speech errors led to models that …

Producing a word to express a meaning requires the processes of lexical selection and
phonological encoding. We argue that lexical selection is influenced by contextual constraint …

Spatiotemporal maps of brain activity based on magnetoencephalography were used to
observe sequential stages in language processing and their modification during repetition …

The present study establishes an electrophysiological index of lexical access in speech
production by exploring the locus of the frequency and cognate effects during overt naming …

Many previous studies have shown that predictable words are read faster and lead to
reduced neural activation, consistent with a model of reading in which words are activated in …

Recent connectionist models of the perception and production of words make use of positive
feedback from later to earlier levels of processing. This paper focuses on production and …

This study investigates the interaction of lexical access and articulation in spoken word
production, examining two dimensions along which theories vary. First, does articulatory …

Past research has demonstrated interference effects when words are named in the context
of multiple items that share a meaning. This interference has been explained within various …

Producing a word is often complicated by the fact that there are other words that share
meaning with the intended word. The competition between words that arises in such a …
