The transposed-word effect does not require parallel word processing: Failure to notice transpositions with serial presentation of words
Readers sometimes fail to notice word transposition errors, reporting a sentence with two transposed words to be grammatical (the
transposed-word effect
). It has been suggested that this effect implicates parallel word processing during sentence reading. The current study directly assessed the role of parallel word processing in failure to notice word transposition errors, by comparing error detection under normal sentence presentation conditions and when words are presented serially at 250 ms/word. Extending recent results obtained with serial presentation of Chinese sentences (Liu, Li, Cutter, Paterson, & Wang, Cognition 218: 104922, 2022), in Experiment 1 we found a transposed-word effect with serial presentation of English sentences. In Experiment 2, we replicated this finding with task instructions that allowed responding at any time during the presentation of the sentence; this result indicates that the transposed-word effect that appears with serial word presentation is not due to a late process of reconstruction of short-term memory. Thus, parallel word processing is not necessary for a transposed-word effect in English. Like Liu et al. (2022), we did find that the transposed-word effect was statistically larger with parallel presentation than with serial presentation; we consider several explanations as to why this is so.

The influence of individual differences in the processing of words expressing discrete emotions: data from a large-scale study
In this study, we addressed the influence of individual differences in personality traits measured trough a Big Five personality test, and sociodemographic variables such as age or gender, in the processing of words conveying discrete emotions. To this aim, we relied on data from a large-scale lexical decision task in Spanish. The analyses with linear mixed models revealed several interactions between emotional content and both personality traits and sociodemographic factors during word recognition. In this sense, there was a facilitation for fear-related words, mainly in male participants. Also, disgust interacted with agreeableness and conscientiousness, showing an inhibition for disgust-related words in participants scoring low in agreeableness or high in conscientiousness. Sadness-related words were processed more slowly in men, while this effect was absent in women. Finally, happiness-related words showed an interaction with openness to experience, age and gender. We discuss the complex interplay between the emotional connotation of words and individual differences. All in all, our findings emphasise the need to take individual characteristics into account when examining emotional word processing.

Using Computer Programs for Language Sample Analysis
Purpose: Although language sample analysis is widely recommended for assessing children's expressive language, few school-based speech-language pathologists routinely use it, citing a lack of time, resources, and training (Pavelko, Owens, Ireland, & Hahs-Vaughn, 2016). The purpose of this clinical tutorial is (a) to describe options for language sample analysis using computer programs and (b) to demonstrate a process of using language sample analysis focused on the assessment of 2 preschool children as case studies. Method: We provide an overview of collecting and analyzing child language samples and describe 3 programs for language sample analysis: 2 dedicated software programs (Computerized Language Analysis [MacWhinney, 2000] and Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts [Miller & Iglesias, 2015]) and 1 protocol for using word processing software to analyze language samples (Sampling Utterances and Grammatical Analysis Revised; Pavelko & Owens, 2017). We also present analysis results from each program for play-based language samples from 2 preschool children and detailed analysis of the samples with potential treatment goals. Results: Each program offers different analyses, comparison databases, and sampling contexts. We present options for additional analysis, clinical interpretations, and potential treatment goals based on the 2 preschool cases. Conclusion: Clinicians can use computer programs for language sample analysis as part of a process to make naturalistic language assessment more feasible.
