Althéa Fratacci; Olivier Clerc; Mathilde Fort; Olivier Pascalis – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
Previous studies found an impact of language familiarity on face recognition in 9- and 12-month-olds. Own race faces are better recognized when associated with native language, whereas for other race faces, it is with non-native language. The aim of this study is to investigate if language familiarity can also influence abstract pattern…

Veneziano, Edy; Bartoli, Eleonora – First Language, 2022
This work is based on previous studies showing that a short conversational intervention (SCI) focusing on the causes of the story events is effective in promoting the causal and mental content of children's narratives. In these studies, however, not all the children improved their narratives after the SCI). The present study examined individual…

Grainger, Jonathan; Beyersmann, Elisabeth – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Two masked priming experiments investigated the impact of prime lexicality (word vs. nonword) and the pseudo-morphological structure of prime stimuli (pseudosuffixed vs. nonsuffixed) on embedded word priming effects. In the related prime conditions, target words were embedded at the beginning of prime stimuli and were followed either by a…

Beyersmann, Elisabeth; Cavalli, Eddy; Casalis, Séverine; Colé, Pascale – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2016
Previous research has repeatedly revealed evidence for morpho-orthographic priming effects in suffixed words. However, evidence for the morphological chunking of prefixed words is sparse and ambiguous. The goal of the present study was to directly contrast the processing of prefixed and suffixed pseudowords within the same experiment. We carried…

Quemart, Pauline; Casalis, Severine; Duncan, Lynne G. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2012
We examined whether French third- and fifth-grade children rely on morphemes when recognizing words and whether this reliance depends on word familiarity. We manipulated the presence of bases and suffixes in words and pseudowords to compare their contribution in a lexical decision task. Both bases and suffixes facilitated word reading accuracy and…

Ziegler, Johannes, C.; Petrova, Ana; Ferrand, Ludovic – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
The role of phonology-to-spelling consistency (i.e., "feedback consistency") was investigated in 3 lexical decision experiments in both the visual and auditory modalities in French and English. No evidence for a feedback consistency effect was found in the visual modality, either in English or in French, despite the fact that consistency…
