{ "pk": 32000, "title": "Using orthographic neighborhoods of interlexical nonwords to support an interactive-activation model of bilingual memory", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Certain models of bilingual memory based on parallel, activation-driven self-terminating search through independent lexicons can reconcile both interlingual priming data (which seem to support an overlapping organization of bilingual memory) and homograph recognition data (which seem to fevor a separate-access dual-lexicon approach). But the dual-lexicon model makes a prediction regarding recognition times for nonwords that is not supported by the data. The nonwords that violate this prediction are produced by changing a single letter of non-cognate interlexical homographs (words like <i>appoint</i>, <i>legs</i>, and <i>mince</i> that are words in both French and English, but have completely different meanings in each language), thereby producing regular nonwords in both languages (e.g., <i>appaint</i>, <i>ligs</i>, <i>monce</i>). These nonwords are then classified according to the comparative sizes of their orthographic neighborhoods in each language. An interactive-activation model, unlike the dual-lexicon model, can account for reaction times to these nonwords in a relatively straightforward manner. For this reason, it is argued that an interactive-activation model is the more appropriate of the two models of bilingual memory.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Paper Presentations", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3ds8m0dn", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Robert", "middle_name": "M.", "last_name": "French", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Psychology Department, Universite de Liege", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Clark", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Chnesorge", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Department of Psychology, Middlebury College", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1996-01-01T10:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32000/galley/23065/download/" } ] }
