In the picture-word interference (PWI) task a picture is presented along with a superimposed distractor word. Participants are required to name the picture while ignoring the distractor. In two PWI experiments we factorially manipulated the case of the distractor (same vs. AltErnAted) and the frequency of the distractor (high vs. low) (Miozzo & Caramazza, 2003; c.f. Mulatti & Coltheart, 2011). Results show the conditions for the case alternation effect to arise, and are discussed within a framework in which distractor processing and target processing compete for accessing to a resource limited mechanism.

Abstract
In the picture-word interference (PWI) task a picture is presented along with a superimposed distractor word. Participants are required to name the picture while ignoring the distractor. In two PWI experiments we factorially manipulated the case of the distractor (same vs. AltErnAted) and the frequency of the distractor (high vs. low) (Miozzo & Caramazza, 2003; c.f. Mulatti & Coltheart, 2011). Results show the conditions for the case alternation effect to arise, and are discussed within a framework in which distractor processing and target processing compete for accessing to a resource limited mechanism.File in questo prodotto:
