The production and comprehension lexicons: What's shared and what's not.
Abstract
Five experiments investigated whether meaning and sound information about words are shared by comprehension and production. On priming trials, speakers named one word while ignoring another. The purpose of using produced and ignored primes was an attempt to dissociate production and comprehension processes. Both semantic and phonologically produced primes slowed picture naming. Ignored primes slowed picture naming when they were semantically related, but not when they were phonologically related. The finding of semantic priming from ignored primes supports the assumption that the ignored primes were processed by the comprehension system. The interpretation of this pattern of results is that phonological information about words is stored separately for production and comprehension, while semantic information is shared by both processes.
Here are the overheads from this talk.
