Riffo, Bernardo; Guerra, Ernesto; Rojas, Carlos; Novoa, Abraham; Veliz, Mónica – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
The association between a word and typical location (e.g., cloud-up) appears to modulate healthy individuals' response times and visual attention. This study examined whether similar effects can be observed in a clinical population characterized by difficulties in both spatial representation and lexical processing. In an eye-tracking experiment,…
