According to the WEAVER++ model, which process starts latest when a person speaks? - correct
answer ✔✔ articulation
According to the WEAVER++ model, speech production goes from _______________ to
_______________ to ____________________ to _________________. - correct answer ✔✔
conceptualization, lemma selection, morphological coding, articulation
, People often times use the term "word." Which of the following theoretical constructs is closest
to the common meaning of "word"? - correct answer ✔✔ lexeme
What is a homophone? - correct answer ✔✔ a word or lexeme that has more than one meaning
What happens when a low frequency word has a higher frequency "twin" (e.g., "but" and
"butt")?
a. people have a hard time understanding both of the "twins" - correct answer ✔✔ the low
frequency "twin" behaves like the higher frequency "twin"
What's the difference between the metrical structure of "banana" and "Panama" - correct
answer ✔✔ the accent falls on different syllables in each word
What is the output of the syllabification process - correct answer ✔✔ a set of phonological
words
What happens when research subjects name pictures and monitor for target phonemes at the
same time? - correct answer ✔✔ They respond faster when the target phoneme is near the
beginning of the picture name.
What happens in the frequency inheritance effect? - correct answer ✔✔ A low frequency word
that has a higher frequency "twin" is pronounced or recognized faster than a word that has no
higher frequency "twin."
What process leads to expressions such as "wichadidja"? - correct answer ✔✔ syllabification
According to modern speech production theories, why do speech errors occur? - correct answer
✔✔ They reflect problems in the mental processes that mediate between conceptualization and
articulation.
