This paper presents a study of PH, a woman with aphasia, who shows a robust impairment in naming pictures of non-living relative to living things. Un-timed investigations of feature knowledge show similar performance across categories suggesting that, as in previous studies, the category effect may be arising at a post-semantic level. However, her performance on a timed feature verification task was slower for non-living than living things (relative to matched controls), in line with her naming. This suggests that the source of PH's category deficit is in fact semantic and that thorough investigation is necessary before claiming a post-semantic category specific deficit in word production. Finally, the results of an intervention study, which apparently eliminated the effect of semantic category on PH's naming, are reported.
Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Lesefehler eines 10jährigen Jungen (OL) mit Entwicklungsdyslexie, der bei seinen Leseversuchen ausschließlich eine buchstabierende Lesestrategie anwendete. OL zeigte eine starke Beeinträchtigung in der Entwicklung sowohl der lexikalischen und als auch der nichtlexikalischen Leseroute. Im Rahmen einer detaillierten Fehlerklassifikation wurden die Fehler beim nichtlexikalischen Lesen auf einzelne Subkomponenten der nichtlexikalischen Leseroute, des Parsers, Translators und Blenders (Temple, 1985) übertragen. Die Mehrheit der Lesefehler von OL tauchte auf der Ebene des Blenders auf. Auslassungen vorher bereits benannter Grapheme stellten den häufigsten Fehlertyp dar. Die Beeinträchtigung in der Entwicklung der Blendingfähigkeiten wird daher als hauptsächliche Ursache für OLs Unfähigkeit, eine nichtlexikalische Verarbeitungsstrategie aufzubauen, angesehen.

The present study introduces the first substantial German database with norms for semantic typicality, age of acquisition, and concept familiarity for 824 exemplars of 11 semantic categories, including four natural ( and ) and five man-made (, and ) categories, as well as and Each category exemplar in the database was collected empirically in an exemplar generation study. For each category exemplar, norms for semantic typicality, estimated age of acquisition, and concept familiarity were gathered in three different rating studies. Reliability data and additional analyses on effects of semantic category and intercorrelations between age of acquisition, semantic typicality, concept familiarity, word length, and word frequency are provided. Overall, the data show high inter- and intrastudy reliabilities, providing a new resource tool for designing experiments with German word materials. The full database is available in the supplementary material of this file and also at www.psychonomic.org/archive.
The age at which members of a semantic category are learned (age of acquisition), the typicality they demonstrate within their corresponding category, and the semantic domain to which they belong (living, non-living) are known to influence the speed and accuracy of lexical/semantic processing. So far, only a few studies have looked at the origin of age of acquisition and its interdependence with typicality and semantic domain within the same experimental design. Twenty adult participants performed an animacy decision task in which nouns were classified according to their semantic domain as being living or non-living. Response times were influenced by the independent main effects of each parameter: typicality, age of acquisition, semantic domain, and frequency. However, there were no interactions. The results are discussed with respect to recent models concerning the origin of age of acquisition effects.
