Decomposition Of Repetition Priming Components In Picture Naming, Wendy Francis, Nuvia Corral, Mary Jones, Silvia Sáenz

Wendy S. Francis

Cognitive mechanisms underlying repetition priming in picture naming were decomposed in several experiments. Sets of encoding manipulations meant to selectively prime or reduce priming in object identification or word production components of picture naming were combined factorially, in order to dissociate processes underlying priming in picture naming. Experiments 1, 2, and 3 were conducted with Spanish-English bilingual participants and bilingual materials. Experiments 4, 5A, and 5B were single-language experiments in English and Spanish. A simple process model was used to formalize the theoretical predictions and test them across all experiments simultaneously. Object identification and word production processes were selectively influenced …

Analogical Transfer Of Problem Solutions Within And Between Languages In Spanish-English Bilinguals, Wendy Francis Dec 1998

Analogical Transfer Of Problem Solutions Within And Between Languages In Spanish-English Bilinguals, Wendy Francis

Wendy S. Francis

Previous cognitive research on transfer of learning in bilingual participants has used simple tasks such as word learning. In the present study, an analogical transfer paradigm was used to examine transfer of high-level conceptual information between languages. Experiment 1 examined analogical transfer from a single source story to a target problem in the same or in a different language with Spanish-English bilinguals. Experiment 2 exploited the competitive nature of retrieval in analogical transfer using a more sensitive design in which the target problem was preceded by two source analogs suggesting different solutions. Even with a total of 207 participants across …
