In morphological priming, morphologically complex words (e.g. honeymoon), prime their constituent parts (moon). Morphological priming, unlike phonological or semantic priming, can survive intervening lags of at least eight words. It has been argued not to originate from any form or meaning overlap, but from heightened activations at the morpheme le...

This poster reports on an eye-tracking study of the online processing of multi-word units, and a naive discriminative learning network (Baayen et al., 2011), built with a set of full-form representations for multi-word units. The eye-tracking data showed a clear effect of multi-word frequency, and moreover testified to the validity of the architect...

In this presentation I present the results from two experimental studies testing for multi-word frequency effects in Dutch. We conducted both a production study and an eye-tracking study. Furthermore, I discuss the results of building an Naive Discriminitive Learning (NDL) model which contains the multi-word units from the experimental studies as o...

Bilingual language control (BLC) is a much-debated issue in recent literature. Some models assume BLC is achieved by various types of inhibition of the non-target language, whereas other models do not assume any inhibitory mechanisms. In an event-related potential (ERP) study involving a long-lag morphological priming paradigm, participants were re...

In a long-lag morphological priming experiment, Dutch (L1)-English (L2) bilinguals were asked to name pictures and read aloud words. A design using non-switch blocks, consisting solely of Dutch stimuli, and switch-blocks, consisting of Dutch primes and targets with intervening English trials, was administered. Target picture naming was facilitated...
