Background Naming test are a very common tool in neuropsychological batteries. Some years ago, the Argentinean Psycholinguistic Naming test was developed, first with black and white drawings (Manoiloff et al., 2018) and then in colors (PAPDIC) (Vivas et al., 2020). Items were selected and organized on the basis of Argentinean psycholinguistic norms...

Background The COVID‐19 pandemic had an impact on neuropsychological assessment and implied an adjustment in the settings of evaluation. To continue providing clinical assistance to patients, it was necessary to adapt previously developed tools for face‐to‐face evaluation for a remote format. To know the effectiveness of this way of administration,...

Listeners generally detect syllables faster than phonemes in overt speech. This “syllable advantage” holds robustly for utterance-initial CV vs. C targets [Segui et al., 1981 Segui, J., Frauenfelder, U., & Mehler, J. (1981). Phoneme monitoring, syllable monitoring and lexical access. British Journal of Psychology, 72(4), 471–477. https://doi.org/10...

Color has demonstrated to have an influence on picture naming tasks. Objects with high color diagnosticity are recalled faster than objects with low value. That is why the Argentinean Psycholinguistic Picture Naming Test in color (PAPDIC in Spanish) was designed. The items and semantic cues were built considering local psycholinguistic norms. A ser...

It´s about how depression symptoms in mothers affects children's cognitive and linguistic development.

The processes tapped by the widely-used word association (WA) paradigm remain a matter of debate: while some authors consider them as driven by lexical co-occurrences, others emphasize the role of meaning-based connections. To test these contrastive hypotheses, we analyzed responses in a WA task in terms of their normative defining features (those...

El bilingüismo como protección ante la demencia: inconsistencias empíricas y nuevas propuestas metodológicas. Círculo de Lingüística Aplicada a la Comunicación 68, 3-44. Resumen El deterioro cognitivo durante el envejecimiento normal o patológico puede retrasarse mediante experiencias que fomentan la reserva cognitiva. En este sentido, algunos estu...

Cette étude est motivée initialement par une question méthodologique : la validité des mesures de temps de dénomination d’image, très utilisés pour explorer les processus de planification de production de parole. Le temps de dénomination est le temps écoulé entre affichage de l’image et début acoustique de la réponse verbale. Dans cet article, nous...

The decline of cognitive skills throughout healthy or pathological aging can be slowed down by experiences which foster cognitive reserve (CR). Recently, some studies on Alzheimer's disease have suggested that CR may be enhanced by life-long bilingualism. However, the evidence is inconsistent and largely based on retrospective approaches featuring...

This article is a theoretical review that analyzes the results of various psycholinguistic researches on language acquisition during the prelinguistic stage depending on the mother-child relationship in situations of absence and presence of mind pathology indicators-specifically maternal postpartum depression (PPD). It follows the description of a...

Within the study of self-perception a particular line of research has been the study of the consequences of affective states, especially the effect of mood on self-concept. The current study was aimed to examine the relationship between mood and self-concept judgments using a methodology that has not been used in previous studies, the Natural Seman...

Syntax is responsible for restricting the word order of sentences and associating each possibility with a particular meaning. The aim of the present study was to investigate the processing of the syntactic components of sentences. Specifically, it focused on the comprehension of relative clauses in Spanish with null subject and object, distinguishi...

In this research we combine a cross-form word-picture visual masked priming procedure with an internal phoneme monitoring task to examine repetition priming effects. In this paradigm, participants have to respond to pictures whose names begin with a pre-specified target phoneme. This task unambiguously requires retrieving the word-form of the targe...

Varios trabajos han investigado las particularidades del priming semántico y del priming asociativo verbal durante la producción de una palabra. No obstante, el rol de las relaciones asociativas en el proceso de producción (principalmente en la denominación de imágenes) ha sido menos estudiado; y por lo tanto, la caracterización de su efecto y su l...

Dentro del estudio de la percepción del sí mismo se han desarrollado investigaciones que intentan observar los efectos de los estados de ánimo sobre el autoconcepto. La presente investigación sigue esta dirección, y se plantea como objetivo indagar la relación entre el estado de ánimo y los juicios de autoconcepto mediante una técnica que no ha sid...

Picture naming is a highly popular task in language production research. In particular, the frequency effect obtained in picture naming is generally considered as the signature of lexical access in speech production. However, it is quite well established that picture naming is very sensitive to the phonetic properties of the word to be produced, im...

Un método para obtener la pre-activación de la forma fonológica del nombre de un objeto consiste en preceder la presentación del objeto por la palabra correspondiente a su nombre, lo que se conoce como Efecto de Repetición. Previas investigaciones (Ferrand, Grainger & Segui, 1994; Ferrand, Segui & Grainger, 1995) demostraron un efecto de priming de...

RÉSUMÉ La dénomination d'images est une procédure privilégiée pour l'étude de la production du langage. En particulier, l'effet de fréquence en dénomination a été considéré comme la signature de l'accès au lexique mental. Toutefois, en raison de sa nature articulatoire, la réponse de dénomination est très sensible aux propriétés phonétiques du mot...

Jescheniak y Levelt (1994) mostraron que el efecto de frecuencia (EF) surge en una tarea de denominación y fue considerado como evidencia que esta tarea exige la recuperación de la información fonológica del nombre del objeto; mientras que la ausencia del EF en una tarea de decisión de género gramatical (DG) muestra que la misma puede ser realizada...

The study of the cognitive processes in the production of language demands careful selection of stimuli and requires normative databases. The main goal of the present research was to collect normative data for the set of 400 figures taken from Cycowicz, Friedman, Rothstein, and Snodgrass (1997; including the 260 figures of Snodgrass & Vanderwart, 1...
