Looking for exemplar effects: testing the comprehension and memory representations of r'duced words in Dutch learners of French Open

Lisa Morano, Louis ten Bosch, Mirjam Ernestus · 2022

In this study, we tested whether second language (hereafter L2) learners can encode in the form of exemplars phonetic variation that does not occur regularly in their native language (hereafter L1). Three groups of Dutch learners of French…

Computational Modeling of an Auditory Lexical Decision Experiment Using DIANA Open

Filip Nenadić, Benjamin V. Tucker, Louis ten Bosch · 2022

We present an implementation of DIANA, a computational model of spoken word recognition, to model responses collected in the Massive Auditory Lexical Decision (MALD) project. DIANA is an end-to-end model, including an activation and decisi…

DIANA, a Process-Oriented Model of Human Auditory Word Recognition Open

Louis ten Bosch, Lou Boves, Mirjam Ernestus · 2022

This article presents DIANA, a new, process-oriented model of human auditory word recognition, which takes as its input the acoustic signal and can produce as its output word identifications and lexicality decisions, as well as reaction ti…

The use of exemplars differs between native and non-native listening Open

Annika Nijveld, Louis ten Bosch, Mirjam Ernestus · 2022
