IMPROVING WORD PRODUCTION THROUGH COMPREHENSION EXPOSURE

IMPROVING WORD PRODUCTION THROUGH COMPREHENSION EXPOSURE
PI: Wendy Francis
Sponsor: NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Psychology
Amount awarded: $299,999

The project will be conducted with Spanish-English bilingual and English-speaking non-bilingual UTEP students to examine how exposures to words elicit faster and more accurate spoken production of those words. Repetition-priming experiments will compare the effects of visual and auditory comprehension exposures on production, test whether repeated articulation is facilitated in bilinguals, and explore and compare the dynamics of these effects.
