“…In this vein, it will be important to elucidate the exact nature of postlexical representations in typing. As we alluded to in the introduction, the two currently dominant models of typing disagree on whether letter and keystroke representations are distinct or not (see also a discussion in Scaltritti, Longcamp, & Alario, 2017). The conclusion drawn from our findings does not critically depend on the number of postlexical layers of representation, but the question must be answered before a complete model of typing can be constructed, leaving room for further studies.…”

Despite the obvious linguistic nature of typing, current psychological models of typing are, to a large extent, divorced from models of spoken language production. This gap has left unanswered many questions regarding the cognitive architecture of typing. In this article we advocate the use of a psycholinguistic framework for studying typing, by showing that such a framework could reveal important similarities and differences between spoken and typed production. Specifically, we investigated the interaction between the lexical and postlexical layers by using a phenomenon known in spoken production as the "repeated-phoneme effect." Participants typed four-word sequences of "finger-twisters" (equivalent to tongue-twisters in spoken production), in which the vowel in the last two words was either repeated (e.g., "fog top") or not (e.g., "fog tip"). We found reliably more migration errors between the consonants of the two typed words when the vowel was repeated, even after the effect of phonology was accounted for. This finding is compatible with an interactive typing system in which postlexical representations send feedback to lexical representations and reveals similar dynamics between spoken and typed production. Additional analyses showed further similarities to spoken production, such as distinct lexical and postlexical error categories, but also revealed that typing errors were much more likely than spoken errors to violate phonotactic constraints. These results provide the first demonstration of feedback between the postlexical and lexical layers in typing, and more generally demonstrate the utility of adopting a psycholinguistic framework tailored specifically to the study of typing.

“…However, there have been a number of studies of other languages that examined spelling for typewritten responses. For example, Scaltritti et al examined typewritten responses in an Italian picturenaming task and in a continuous production task in French (i.e., participants type the same words repeatedly within a specified amount of time; Scaltritti et al, 2016Scaltritti et al, , 2018. The items employed varied in terms of a series of lexical and sublexical features such as AoA, word frequency, and orthographic neighbourhood size.…”

We conducted a megastudy to examine the spelling of American English monosyllables with typewritten responses. We related both sublexical and lexical/semantic factors to spelling accuracy and reaction time (RT) for the first key press and response duration for spelling 1,856 monophonic monosyllables. We found that: a) each of thirteen predictor variables was significantly related to performance for at least one measure, b) orthographic length was unrelated to the first key RT, but did relate to accuracy and response duration, c) sound-spelling and spelling-sound consistency was related to performance, and in particular, onset consistency related to accuracy and first key RT, but was unrelated to response duration, d) contextual diversity was consistently related to performance across all measures, and e) AoA was related to all measures, but was related more to the first key RT than response duration. The results indicate that people begin the spelling process once they identify the first letter, and they continue to process the spelling pattern as the response unfolds. These results are best explained by a parallel-distributed-processing framework.

Reversed asymmetrical switch costs in voluntary language switching: Evidence from typed responses

Aims and objectives/purpose/research questions: Prior research has put forward that asymmetrical switch costs in language switching do not occur when bilinguals are in a voluntary language-switching context. While several studies have provided evidence along these lines, two very recent studies have put this into question. This study further investigates the possibility that voluntary language switching abolishes asymmetrical switch costs. Design/methodology/approach: We presented German-English bilinguals ( n = 79) with pictures that had to be named in either German or English, whichever they chose, by typing. Data and analysis: Reaction times (both the latency of the first keystroke and interkeystroke intervals) were analyzed using linear mixed-effects regression modeling with the factors Trial type (switch vs. repetition trial) and Language (German vs. English), whereas the error rates were analyzed using logistic mixed-effects regression modeling. Findings/conclusions: The onset latencies and inter-keystroke intervals both showed larger second-language (English) than first-language (German) switch costs (i.e., reversed asymmetrical switch costs). As switch costs were modulated by language dominance in a voluntary language-switching context, this study provides evidence that voluntary language switching is not a boundary condition for asymmetrical switch costs. Originality: In contrast to most previous language-switching studies, we used typed rather than vocal responses in a voluntary language-switching paradigm. In addition, our findings further support and generalize very recent findings of (reversed) asymmetrical switch costs in voluntary language switching. Significance/implications: Since asymmetrical switch costs, an important measure of bilingual inhibitory control, are not consistently observed throughout the language-switching literature, it is essential to understand its boundary conditions.
