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 …

We present a new technique for studying the activation of semantic and phonological codes
in speech planning using event-related brain potentials (ERPs) that extend a well …

Two fundamental factors affecting the speed of spoken word production are lexical
frequency and sentential constraint, but little is known about their timing and …

Previous research has demonstrated that cross-language activation is present even when
proficient bilinguals perform a task only in one language. The present study investigated the …

Behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) measures are reported for a study in which
relatively proficient Chinese–English bilinguals named identical pictures in each of their two …

Twenty-eight native-English speakers enrolled in beginning and intermediate university
Spanish courses participated in a mixed language semantic categorization task in which …

The temporal properties of semantic and phonological processes in speech production were
investigated in a new experimental paradigm using movement-related brain potentials. The …

Speech production is one of the most fundamental activities of humans. A core cognitive
operation involved in this skill is the retrieval of words from long-term memory, that is, from …

Bilingual individuals need effective mechanisms to prevent interference between their
languages. Using event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance …

Behavioral and modeling evidence suggests that words compete for recognition during
auditory word identification, and that phonological similarity is a driving factor in this …
