R1.1 - intro: perc/prod/processing usage #31

Closed jvcasillas closed 2 years ago

jvcasillas commented 2 years ago

The terms perception, processing and comprehension are used in the manuscript not very systematically. In some cases the authors use “perception and processing” together, and in some others they seem to summarize them both in the term “comprehension”. A more systematic use of these terms is needed.

Action: search manuscript and systematize usage

@isabelleschang how is this PR coming along? Is there anything I can do to help?

Boiler plate for response to reviewer

We thank the reviewer for their comment. In the revised manuscript we have tried to be consistent with how the terms are implemented in the phonetics/phonology, SLA, and psycholinguistic literatures. We reserve the term 'comprehension' to refer to one's general understanding of linguistic input [see @esteve2020empathy for examples]. In the majority of cases we have simplified the revised manuscript by opting for 'perception'/'speech perception', which we use to refer to the ability to perceive linguistic structure in the speech signal. We make a distinction between general 'perception' and 'sentence processing' when we refer to comprehension at the sentence-level and specifically to insight derived from online tasks (reaction times, eye-tracking gaze data, etc.) as opposed to response accuracy. We believe these distinctions have been made more explicit throughout the revised manuscript. We have opted not to explicitly operationalize these terms in the prose, as we believe they are generally understood by the readership of Applied Psycholinguistics, though we are happy to be more explicit at the discretion of the editor.
