Voornaam is not (really) a Homophone: Lexical Prosody and Lexical Access in Dutch [PDF]
Four experiments examined Dutch listeners' use of suprasegmental information in spoken-word recognition. Isolated syllables excised from minimal stress pairs such as V OORnaam/voorNAAM could be reliably assigned to their source words. In lexical decision, no priming was observed from one member of minimal stress pairs to the other, suggesting that the ...

Individual Differences in Memory Span: The Contribution of Rehearsal, Access to Lexical Memory, and Output Speed [PDF]
Rehearsal speed has traditionally been seen to be the prime determinant of individual differences in memory span. Recent studies, in the main using young children as the subject population, have suggested other contributors to span performance, notably ...

Examining the validity of the Lexical Access Time Test (LEXATT2)
This study aimed to investigate the validity of the Lexical Access Time Test (LEXATT2). The first step was to examine the test results to determine if it was able to differentiate between participants with different English proficiency levels.

Automatic Lexical Access in Visual Modality: Eye-Tracking Evidence. [PDF]
Language processing has been suggested to be partially automatic, with some studies suggesting full automaticity and attention independence of at least early neural stages of language comprehension, in particular, lexical access.

On the Nature of Semantic Constraints on Lexical Access [PDF]
We present two eye-tracking experiments that investigate lexical frequency and semantic context constraints in spoken-word recognition in German. In both experiments, the pivotal words were pairs of nouns overlapping at onset but varying in lexical frequency.

The Boundaries of Lexical Innovation within a Question-Defined Semantic Cohort
This study explores the amount of lexical innovation (hapax legomena or non repeated words) during a question-led (i.e. semi spontaneous) spoken word production task. Native adult non-impaired Spanish speakers (n = 8) were asked the same question 8 times

Lexical Access in L2 Speech Production: a controlled serial search task
When it comes to lexical access in L2 speech production, working memory (WM) seems to play a central role as for less automatized procedures require more WM capacity to be executed (Prebianca, 2007).

Integrative priming occurs rapidly and uncontrollably during lexical processing [PDF]
Lexical priming, whereby a prime word facilitates recognition of a related target word (e.g., nurse ? doctor), is typically attributed to association strength, semantic similarity, or compound familiarity.

Fuzzy Lexical Representations in Adult Second Language Speakers
We propose the fuzzy lexical representations (FLRs) hypothesis that regards fuzziness as a core property of nonnative (L2) lexical representations (LRs). Fuzziness refers to imprecise encoding at different levels of LRs and interacts with input frequency

Modeling lexical decision : the form of frequency and diversity effects [PDF]
What is the root cause of word frequency effects on lexical decision times? W. S. Murray and K. I. Forster (2004) argued that such effects are linear in rank frequency, consistent with a serial search model of lexical access. In this article, the authors
