Abstract
In this project the discrepancy on the locus of the semantic interference effect in picture-word interference (PWI) is investigated with the combination of an experimental study and computational modeling. The experimental part consisted of a Psychological Refractory Paradigm experiment with a tone discrimination and a PWI task. It was investigated whether a short presentation duration of PWI stimuli forces participants into parallel processing of both tasks. If this is the case, it may explain the discrepancy among studies in the literature regarding the semantic interference effect in dual task studies. The second part consists of an investigation of how this line of experiments can be modeled using the existing ACT-R and RACE/A models in psycholinguistics.
