A narrative review of linguistic prodution: the impact of Picture Word Interference
Keywords:
Linguistic production, Picture Word Interference, Attivation for Competition, AttentionAbstract
The aim of this narrative review is to provide an overview on one of the most complex cognitive processes known, namely the Language. More specifically, the communicative process and its related effects (such as semantic interference, and the weight of Grammatical Class) were investigated. The present narrative review focused on one of the most impactful paradigms in the sector: the Picture Word Interference (PWI), which involves the use of figures to be called compared with words that act as distractions that must be ignored. With the development of the PWI it has been possible to better understand this wide process, placing the emphasis on the concept of Activation by Competition that appears to be nowadays one of the most accredited hypotheses to better understand this phenomenon, hereby supporting the WEAVER++ model of Levelt and colleagues of 1999. Within the work, the weight of attention is also discussed, which appears to be relevantly connected to the linguistic function for the selection of the right Lemmas.
