Examining interhemispheric processing and task demand in lexical decision-making: insights from lateralized visual field paradigm [PDF]
This study aimed to investigate the influence of task demand on the uni−/bi-hemispheric processing of lexical decision-making. Two types of nonwords were used in parafoveal and foveal lexical decision tasks (LDTs) to manipulate task demand. In Experiment

Can a lexical decision task predict efficiency in the judgment of ambiguous sentences? [PDF]
The lexicon plays a fundamental role in reading, but little is known about how it influences reading efficiency. Thus, this study seeks to identify which lexical factors in a lexical decision task are relevant in a semantic decision test.
