Empathy has been an important issue in psychology, education, as well as cognitive neuroscience. Empathy has two major components: cognitive and emotional. Cognitive component refers to the ability to understand others' perspectives, thoughts, and actions, whereas emotional component refers to understand how others feel. Empathy can be induced, att...

Picture naming is a widely used technique in psycholinguistic studies. Here, we describe new on-line resources that our project has compiled and made available to researchers on the world wide web at http://crl.ucsd.edu/~aszekely/ipnp/. The website provides access to a wide range of picture stimuli and related norms in seven languages. Picture nami...

Timed picture naming was compared in seven languages that vary along dimensions known to affect lexical access. Analyses over items focused on factors that determine cross-language universals and cross-language disparities. With regard to universals, number of alternative names had large effects on reaction time within and across languages after ta...

The purpose of this study was to examine mental representation of Chinese–English bilinguals using an episodic recognition task (ERT) in priming paradigm. Two experiments were conducted. The stimuli were L1–L2 word pairs in experiment 1, and pairs of nonsense symbols in experiment 2. In both experiments, clear priming effects by pure association be...

Study of sign language and neuropsychology suggest visual and movement cues are linguistic for deaf signers and brain damaged patients. Research on selective attention shows skilled Chinese readers use semantic radicals automatically and pre-lexically in a semantic task. This leads to a hypothesis that skilled Chinese readers encode spatial and mov...

This chapter presents an experiment that examinee fluent Chinese readers' character recognition performance with a modified Stroop interference paradigm (that is, picture-character interference) to see the cues that were effective and the ways in which they were integrated during reading. Depending on the relationship between the object depicted in...
