(1) Experiment 1 visually presented uncommon spellings of homophones to subjects before and during a suggestion for hypnotic blindness, and subsequently tested subjects' spelling of the homophones.
(2) A further study required subjects to decide whether visually presented nonwords were homophonous with real words.
(3) Procedural memory, as measured by stem completion, homophone spelling and transformed text reading, did not differ between Alzheimer patients and controls.
(4) Van Orden (1987) reported that false positive errors in a categorization task are elevated for homophonic foils (e.g., HARE for A PART OF THE HUMAN BODY).
(5) Experiment II was designed for dissociation between phonemic and semantic information of the memory trace, using homophones as study and test items.
(6) The Post alleged his surname was changed to "Jia": a homophone for "fake" in Chinese, but also the surname of another senior leader, Jia Qinglin, who was reportedly furious at rumours that his family might be involved and ordered an investigation.
(7) The implicit memory ability of a patient (S.S.) with severe amnesia due to encephalitis was assessed using five independent paradigms: Perceptual priming with real words and pseudowords; Word-stem completion with and without contextual cues; Word-stem completion following presentation of high- vs. low-frequency words; Biasing of the spelling of ambiguous (homophonic) words; and Conceptual priming.
(8) Subjects' attributions of their performance did not involve awareness of the homophones.
(9) When the primes were homophonic homographs, semantic relationship facilitated lexical decision of targets at all SOAs regardless of the dominance of the meaning to which the targets were related.
(10) Two experiments provided evidence of environmental context-dependent memory using a homophone spelling test (e.g., Jacoby & Witherspoon, 1982), an implicit, indirect measure of memory (Richardson-Klavehn & Bjork, 1988).
(11) The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Friday 29 May 2009 Near homophone corner: referring to the leader comment below, a reader justly asks, "Calling Miliband and Johnson Messers may well have been an opinion but could you have meant Messrs?".
(12) Additionally, in each of two experiments, matched word and nonword homophones produced virtually identical error rates.
(13) These data can be accounted for by assuming multiple lexical entries for heterophonic homographs, single lexical entries for homophonic homographs, and phonological mediation of accessing meanings.
(14) "The Japanese government is eager to break through the postwar system," wrote the ruling Communist party's flagship People's Daily newspaper in an editorial written under the name Zhong Sheng, a homophone for Voice of China .
(15) A homophone of a target word, when presented as a preview in the parafovea, facilitated processing of the target word seen on the next fixation more than a preview of a word matched with the homophone in visual similarity to the target word.
(16) Results of the present study, involving the recognition and spelling of semantically biased homophones, suggest a negative answer to this question and imply that intraoperative events cannot be remembered postoperatively, either with or without awareness.
(17) If stimulus nonword homophones are viewed as extremely unfamiliar words, compared with the relatively familiar stimulus word homophones, then our failure to observe an effect of stimulus familiarity strengthens the case that phonological coding plays a role in the identification of all printed words.
(18) She learned to use homophones to evade the censors.
(19) The present study investigates the influence of different contexts on their interpretations of homophones.
(20) Although his oral reading of words is prompt and generally accurate, analysis of his lexical decision performance and the way that he defines homophones indicate that he does not have fully specified lexical entries available for reading either.
Monophonic
Definition:
(a.) Single-voiced; having but one part; as, a monophonic composition; -- opposed to polyphonic.
Example Sentences:
(1) 2) Continuous adventitious lung sounds in asthmatic patients were divided into monophonic tones and polyphonic tones, according to sound spectrographic findings.
(2) In addition to the ST-segment elevation and hyperacute T waves, the patient's ECG displayed increase in the R wave voltage, decrease and final disappearance of the S wave, merging of the R wave with the elevated ST-segment and formation of monophonic curves.
(3) From the results of the coherence analysis, the monophonic tones were considered to be generated in the right or left lung, and were well transmitted to the neck over the trachea.
