Influence Of Noun Imagery On Speed Of Naming Nouns, Joseph B. Hellige Jan 1977

Influence Of Noun Imagery On Speed Of Naming Nouns, Joseph B. Hellige

Psychological Science Faculty Works

In an experiment on the influence of noun imagery on the speed of naming visually presented nouns, it was found that high-imagery nouns were named, on an average, 14 msec faster than low-imagery nouns. The difference, although small, was highly significant [F(l,14) = 10.04]. The magnitude of this effect was about one-third of that obtained when subjects were required to identify the grammaticality of phrases containing these same nouns, indicating that speed of encoding was probably a more important factor than speed of recognition in producing a noun imagery effect in speed of grammaticality judgments.

The Role Of Noun Imagery In The Speed Of Processing The Grammaticality Of Adjective-Noun Phrases, Joseph B. Hellige

Psychological Science Faculty Works

This experiment investigated speed of processing the grammaticality of phrases consisting of the adjective "one" or "two" followed by a singular or plural noun. The subject's task was to press one of two keys, depending upon whether the phrase was grammatically correct or incorrect. There were eight types of phrases, formed by the factorial combinations of singular or plural adjectives, singular or plural nouns, and high or low noun imagery. These served as within-subjects variables. Between-subjects variables were the factorial combinations of sex of subject, duration of stimulus phrase (.2 or 2.5 sec), and hand assigned to the correct-grammar key. …
