{"pk":31361,"title":"Orthographic and Semantic Similarity in Auditory Rhyme Decisions","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Seidenberg and Tanenhaus (1979) demonstrated that orthographic information is obligatorily activated during auditory word recognition by showing that rhyme decisions to orthographically similar rhymes pie-tie were quicker than rhyme decisions to orthographically dissimilar rhymes ryetie. This effect could be due to the fact that orthographic and phonological codes axe closely inter-related in lexical memory and the two dimensions are highly correlated. However, it could also be a example of a more general similarity bias in making rhyme decisions, in which subjects cannot ignore irrelevant information from other dimensions. W e explored this later possibility by having subjects make rhyme decisions to words that vary in orthographic similarity and also to words that vary in semantic similarity {good-kind, cruel-kind). This possibility is ruled out in two experiments in which we fail to find an interference effect with semantically related trials, while replicating the basic orthographic interference and facilitation results.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Posters","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0st152bk","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Curt","middle_name":"","last_name":"Burgess","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Riverside","department":""},{"first_name":"Michael","middle_name":"K.","last_name":"Tanenhaus","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Rochester","department":""},{"first_name":"Nancy","middle_name":"","last_name":"Marks","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Rochester","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1992-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31361/galley/22430/download/"}]}
