{ "pk": 25709, "title": "Eye Movements Reveal Sensitivity to Sound Symbolism\nEarly and Late in Word Learning", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Although the relationship between sound and meaning in\nlanguage is arbitrary, reliable correspondences between sound\nand meaning have been found in natural language. These\nsound symbolic relationships affect word learning, but less is\nknown about how sound symbolism affects online processing\nduring learning or for well-learned stimuli. We use the visual\nworld paradigm and an artificial lexicon featuring carefully\ncontrolled sound symbolic correspondences to examine the\neffects of sound symbolism on the online processing of novel\nand well-learned stimuli. Initially, participants chose novel\nshapes matching the sound symbolic properties of the word\nabove chance, reliably fixating consistent shapes around word\noffset. As learning approached ceiling, accuracy and reaction\ntime differences between matching and mismatching stimuli\ndisappeared but a disadvantage in the online processing of\nmismatching stimuli persisted in the form of lagging target\nfixations. This suggests that sound symbolism affects the\nonline processing of spoken stimuli even for well-learned\nwords.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "sound symbolism; eyetracking; visual world\nparadigm; artificial lexicon" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0f8094k3", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Kate", "middle_name": "Pirog", "last_name": "Revill", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Emory University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Laura", "middle_name": "L", "last_name": "Namy", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Emory University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Lynne", "middle_name": "C", "last_name": "Nygaard", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Emory University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2015-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25709/galley/15333/download/" } ] }
