Questions

1. Which of the following topics were not focused on in any of the presentations by members of the ERPling and CCLR labs?

Long-distance dependencies

Code-switching

Idiom processing

Grammatical gender processing

2. The primary findings from the study on negation processing (Manning) indicate that native speakers and second language speakers process negation in a similar manner, specifically with a two-step account of processing.

True

False

3. In regard to bilingual language control (Vinerte), bilinguals are said to constantly have both of their languages activated, resulting in competition between languages.

True

False

4. Which of the following was used as a measure of cognitive control (Vinerte) in the study on bilingual cognitive control? Masked Priming Task

Grammatically Task

Attentional Network Task

Sentence Processing Task

5. In the study presented in class by Yubin what was being tested through the use of a Maze Task?

Co-activation of bilingual lexicons

Co-activation of bilingual grammars

co-activation of bilingual adverbs

All of the above

6. Why might a 4-year-old child be less efficient at visual speech processing compared to 5 and 6-year-old children (Rabideau)?

Older children need less cognitive control when processing audio-visual stimuli (i.e. they do not need to suppress the visual representation of an object in order to repeat its name)

Older children have more ability to processes visual speech because they know

how to read

Repetition primes creates competition, resulting in slower speech RTs

Processing both audio and visual stimuli causes competition, resulting in slower

RTS

7. The reverse production effect (Lopez) refers to:

Better recognition for word heard during training rather than those that were produced during training

• Better recognition for words that were produced during learning

Better recognition of shorter words as opposed to longer words

Better recognition for producing high-frequency words as opposed to low-frequency words

8. The reverse production effect (Lopez) refers to:

Better recognition for words heard during training rather than those that were

produced during training

Better recognition for words that were produced during learning

Better recognition of shorter words as opposed to longer words

Better recognition for producing high-frequency words as opposed to low-

frequency words

9. The results of the Lopez et al. 2020 study showed...

A reverse production effect on all trials

A reverse production effect on heard and mouthed trials

A reverse production effect on heard and nose trials

A reverse production effect on heard and produced trials

10. Which ambiguous word can be disambiguated through syntactic cues (Brien)?

Port (i.e. a harbour vs. the alcohol)

Shed (i.e. a barn vs losing skin/ hair)

Bank (i.e. a river bank vs. a financial institution)

Both A and B

11. Which of the following is an example of a cross-modal lexical decision task (Brien)?

Reading a word and then picking the most appropriate prime from a list of

words

Hearing a word and selecting the corresponding image to that word

Hearing an ambiguous sentence and guessing which meaning is the correct one

Seeing strings of letters and guessing whether it is a word or a non-word

12. In Brien's 2012 study, the condition 'homonym type' was split into two categories, syntactic homonyms and semantic homonyms. Syntactic homonyms are referred to as

/

readings, whereas Semantic homonyms are referred to as

readings.

/ I

noun/ verb; noun / noun

verb/ verb; noun / noun

noun / noun; noun/ verb

noun / noun; verb / verb

13.

The syntactic priming results in Brien's 2012 study showed that monolinguals are mostly quicker than the bilingual groups.

True

False

14. Idioms are a type of literal language (Morid).

True

False

15. Previous studies on code-switching found that the processing involved in code-switching is more effortful than that involved in unilingual language (Gosselin).

True

False

16. A potential flaw in the previous code-switching studies in which code-switching was found to be effortful was... (Gosselin)

Bilinguals showed slower RTs than monolinguals

Participants were tested in Toronto

It is not known whether the participants tested used code-switching in their

regular daily language use

Participants were equally proficient in both their languages
