Music and spoken language share certain characteristics: both consist of sequences of
acoustic elements that are combinatorically combined, and these elements partition the …

In a novel continuous speaking-listening paradigm, we explored how speech planning was
affected by concurrent listening. In Experiment 1, Dutch speakers named pictures with high …

In conversation, production and comprehension processes may overlap, causing
interference. In 3 experiments, we investigated whether repetition priming can work as a …

When a picture is repeatedly named in the context of semantically related pictures
(homogeneous context), responses are slower than when the picture is repeatedly named in …

Earlier work has explored spoken word production during irrelevant background speech
such as intelligible and unintelligible word lists. The present study compared how different …

Studies of language production often make use of picture naming tasks to investigate the
cognitive processes involved in speaking, and many of these studies report a wide range of …

Listening and speaking are quickly alternated during conversations, resulting in short gaps
between two speakers. To explain this rapid turn-taking, several processes are …

This dissertation explored how irrelevant background speech influenced speech production
and what strategies speakers would use to overcome this influence. Three chapters …

Background Utterance production is affected under dual-task conditions, but so far studies
have shown an impact either on lexical or on phonological processes, but not on both …

An adult continues acquiring new lexical entries in everyday life. Brain networks and
processes at play when producing newly learnt words might be similar to well-known words …
