The Dynamic Microstructure of Speech Production

Abdel Rahman, Rasha; Melinger, Alissa

We present 4 experiments investigating dynamic and flexible aspects of semantic activation spread during speech planning. In a semantic blocking paradigm, pictures of objects were presented in categorically homogeneous ...
