Rudolf Meringer (18591931) started to collect speecherrors. In contrast to his contemporary SigmundFreud (18561939), he studied the linguistic, ratherthan psychological, properties of such incidents.Wilhelm Wundt (18321920) proposed the firsttheory of language production, and GustavAschaffenburg (18661944), by using the techniqueof word association, investigated the representationof word meaning. The Dutch ophthalmologist
Fransiscus Donders (18181889) introduced themethod of mental chronometry (measuring the timemental processes take)

Language production is a processfrom idea generation to languageexpression. It is a mental process that is heavilyinfluenced by language users culture.

Idea: cross-cultural communication
People using the same language (i.e. English)but coming from different cultures. Example: Cultural differences in directnesshow explicitly and clearly do we say what we
mean. Case study: letters of recommendation for abright but immature student, Peter Gore. (ByJohn McCarthy)

British Professor(least direct)Mr. Gore impresses one as veryintelligent. As to his maturity andreadiness for graduate study, I can sayvery little, having had an opportunity toobserve him only under relativelyunfavorable conditions.

American Professor(intermediate directness)
In my judgment, Gore is very intelligent.During the time I have known him, I haveseen him grow in maturity; I hope andexpect that this will continue when hebegins graduate study.

Peters brilliant, theres no doubt aboutthat. But hes a bit of a baby, with a lot ofgrowing up to do.

An Experiment:
Task: Speak out the color name of the stimulus you
will view.
Requirement: Complete the task as quickly and
accurately as possible.
Subjects, participants,
(The task was devised by Stroop, 1935 --the Stroop
task.)

For color words, when their ink color isinconsistent with the meaning of the words, Naming time is longer (i.e.response latency);Responses are less accurate.

1. Reaction time (RT) approachIt measures peoples RT (response latency)to a language stimulus. It includes manyon-line methods of studying peopleslanguage behavior continuously in alaboratory settingInfer the mental activity in terms of RTs.

The above finding suggests that themeaning of words is activatedautomatically people cannot control theactivation of meaning. automaticity

Another experiment:Task: On each trial, you will first see a
semantic category name (e.g., flower).Following the semantic category, you willsee a target word which may be an exemplar
of the category (e.g., rose). Judge if thetarget word you will see is an correctexemplar of the category.

Why We Study This Kind of Stuff?
Findings with normal readers indicate thatword meaning and phonology are activatedautomatically.
Apply the same tasks to dyslexia. There is aphonological deficit for dyslexicsthey
cannot activate phonological informationobligatorily.
