of pictures taken from Snodgrass and Vanderwart (1980) was investigated in French adults …

One of the major symptoms of semantic dementia (or progressive fluent aphasia) is profound
word-finding difficulties. We present here a cross-sectional study of the factors affecting …

Following a brief history of age of acquisition (AoA) research and consideration of measures
of AoA, this review examines AoA effects in lexical processing tasks (such as object naming …

We examined the roles of age of acquisition (AoA) and word frequency in picture naming
latencies and studied repetition priming to illuminate the locus and mechanism by which the …

Semantic dementia refers to a multi-modal loss of semantic knowledge, resulting from
degeneration of the anterior temporal neocortex. Loss of information is not absolute. We …

This paper concerns the influence of age of acquisition (AoA) in word reading and other
tasks, and attempts to develop a number of issues raised by Zevin and Seidenberg (2002) …

Tools pose a challenge to the need to select actions appropriate for task goals and
environmental constraints. For many tools (eg, calculator), actions for “using” and “grasping …

This study investigates age of acquisition (AoA) and word frequency effects in both spoken
and written picture naming. In the first two experiments, reliable AoA effects on object …

Three experiments compared immediate serial recall of disyllabic words that differed on
spoken duration. Two sets of long-and short-duration words were selected, in each case …

Verb retrieval for action naming was assessed in 53 brain-damaged subjects by
administering a standardized test with 100 items. The goal of the study was to gain further …
