Advance Planning of Form Properties in the Written Production of Single and Multiple Words
Damian, Markus F.; Stadthagen-Gonzalez, Hans
Language and Cognitive Processes, v24 n4 p555-579 2009
Three experiments investigated the scope of advance planning in written production. Experiment 1 manipulated phonological factors in single word written production, and Experiments 2 and 3 did the same in the production of adjective-noun utterances. In all three experiments, effects on latencies were found which mirrored those previously documented with spoken responses, and are taken to suggest that writers planned the entire utterance before initiating a response. Additionally, response durations were measured, and these provided further support for the complete planning assumption. The results suggest that writers, like speakers, plan utterances of at least two words in their entirety before initiating a response. (Contains 1 table, 1 figure, and 2 footnotes.)
