Direct linkFerrill, Michelle; Love, Tracy; Walenski, Matthew; Shapiro, Lewis P. – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2012
Purpose: To investigate the time-course of processing of lexical items in auditorily presented canonical (subject-verb-object) constructions in young, neurologically unimpaired control participants and participants with left-hemisphere damage and agrammatic aphasia. Method: A cross modal picture priming (CMPP) paradigm was used to test 114 control…

Poirier, Josee; Wolfinger, Katie; Spellman, Lisa; Shapiro, Lewis P. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2010
Ellipsis refers to an element that is absent from the input but whose meaning can nonetheless be recovered from context. In this cross-modal priming study, we examined the online processing of Sluicing, an ellipsis whose antecedent is an entire clause: "The handyman threw a book to the programmer but I don't know which book" the handyman threw to…

Callahan, Sarah M.; Shapiro, Lewis P.; Love, Tracy – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2010
This study investigated the processes underlying parallelism by evaluating the activation of a parallel element (i.e., a verb) throughout "and"-coordinated sentences. Four points were tested: (1) approximately 1,600ms after the verb in the first conjunct (PP1), (2) immediately following the conjunction (PP2), (3) approximately 1,100ms after the…

de Goede, Dieuwke; Shapiro, Lewis P.; Wester, Femke; Swinney, David A.; Bastiaanse, Roelien – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2009
The verb has traditionally been characterized as the central element in a sentence. Nevertheless, the exact role of the verb during the actual ongoing comprehension of a sentence as it unfolds in time remains largely unknown. This paper reports the results of two Cross-Modal Lexical Priming (CMLP) experiments detailing the pattern of verb priming…

Poirier, Josee; Shapiro, Lewis P.; Love, Tracy; Grodzinsky, Yosef – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2009
We investigate the on-line processing of verb-phrase ellipsis (VPE) constructions in two brain injured populations: Broca's and Anomic aphasics. VPE constructions are built from two simple clauses; the first is the antecedent clause and the second is the ellipsis clause. The ellipsis clause is missing its verb and object (i.e., its verb phrase…

Raczaszek-Leonardi, Joanna; Shapiro, Lewis P.; Tuller, Betty; Kelso, J. A. Scott – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2008
This paper examines the influence of context on the processing of category names embedded in sentences. The investigation focuses on the nature of information available immediately after such a word is heard as well as on the dynamics of adaptation to context. An on-line method (Cross Modal Lexical Priming) was used to trace how this process…
