Phonological activation of ignored pictures: Further evidence for a cascade model of lexical access (2005, background): “In Levelt, Roelofs and Meyer s model (1999; see also Levelt, 2001), activation flows in a cascaded fashion from the conceptual to the lexical level (any activated conceptual representation spreads some activation to the lexical level).”
Natural codeswitching knocks on the laboratory door (2006, background): “A number of psycholinguistics have suggested that language choice is part of the selection process at the conceptual level (e.g. Levelt, 1989, 2001).”
Language and Aging (2007, unknown): “Retrieval of information encoded in a representation occurs when 374 excitation reaches a threshold, either absolute or relative to the level of excitation of other representations in the domain (Levelt, 2001).”
Separating semantic conflict and response conflict in the Stroop task: A functional MRI study (2005, result): “…form of action planning involving multiple processing levels, but nevertheless it can be broken down as depending on two major independent systems: a semantic/conceptual system and a phonological/phonetic system (Levelt, 2001), which might correspond to the systems identified in the current study.”
Letter‐position encoding and dyslexia (2005, background): “As discussed by Levelt (2001), output is likely to be based on syllabic units, which are constructed on the fly.”
Lexical Access in Bilingual Speech Production: Evidence from Language Switching in Highly Proficient Bilinguals and L2 Learners. (2004, background): “The process by which this is achieved is often referred to lexical selection (Caramazza, 1997; Dell, 1986; Levelt, 1989, 2001; Levelt, Roelofs, & Meyer, 1999).”
The Development of Embodied Cognition: Six Lessons from Babies (2005, background): “production [14, 26] points, first, to the psychological reality of a distinct lexical level of representation and, second, to the fundamentally orthogonal and competitive nature of these representations.”
Consequences of the Now-or-Never bottleneck for signed versus spoken languages (2015, background): “Similarly, the reverse process, going from a discourse-level representation of the intended message to the production of speech (or sign) across parallel linguistic levels, is compatible with several current models of language production (e.g., Chang et al. 2006; Dell et al. 1997; Levelt 2001).”
Dynamic Causal Tractography Analysis of Auditory Descriptive Naming: An Intracranial Study of 106 Patients (2025, unknown): “Following Levelt (2001), relevant answers included responses such as ‘bird,’ airplane,’ or ‘animal’ to the question: ‘What flies in the sky?’.”
Neural signatures of syntactic variation in speech planning (2021, background): “,” aligned expression) or whether there is an opposition between unmarked and marked noun phrases (“the gardener” versus “the gardener +x,” nonaligned expression; Fig 1)? Does this difference affect sentence planning already in its early phases or only later, when speakers encode the phonological fo”
