Is visual lexical decision a dynamic and competitive process? no, if we look at reaction times. yes, if we study how it unfolds in time [PDF]
, 2012 Visual lexical decision is a classical paradigm in Psycholinguistic, and numerous studies have assessed a so-called "lexicality effect" (i.e., better performance with lexical over non-lexical stimuli). Far less is know relative to the dynamics of choice,

Vector Space Morphology with Linear Discriminative Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 This paper presents three case studies of modeling aspects of lexical processing with Linear Discriminative Learning (LDL), the computational engine of the Discriminative Lexicon model (Baayen et al., 2019). With numeric representations of word forms and meanings, LDL learns to map one vector space onto the other, without being informed about any ...

The Missing Link between Morphemic Assemblies and Behavioral Responses:a Bayesian Information-Theoretical model of lexical processing [PDF]
, 2006 We present the Bayesian Information-Theoretical (BIT) model of lexical processing: A mathematical model illustrating a novel approach to the modelling of language processes. The model shows how a neurophysiological theory of lexical processing relying on

Contextual diversity, not word frequency, determines word-naming and lexical decision times [PDF]
Word frequency is an important predictor of word-naming and lexical decision times. It is, however, confounded with contextual diversity, the number of contexts in which a word has been seen.

Acquired Surface Alexia in Spanish: A Case Report
Behavioural Neurology, 2005 This paper reports a case study of acquired surface alexia in Spanish and discusses the most suitable tests to detect this syndrome in a writing system that is very regular for reading at the segmental and supra-segmental levels.

Gragoatá, 2018 Studies about multilingual lexical access use lexical decision tasks comparing the processing of cognate and non-cognate words to investigate whether there is co-activation of languages when multilinguals process words in a single language. To understand

Not As Easy As It Seems: Automating the Construction of Lexical Chains Using Roget's Thesaurus [PDF]
Proceedings of the 16th Canadian Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (AI 2003), Halifax, Canada, June 2003. Lecture Notes in Computer
Science 2671, Springer-Verlag 2003, 544-549, 2012 Morris and Hirst present a method of linking significant words that are about the same topic. The resulting lexical chains are a means of identifying cohesive regions in a text, with applications in many natural language processing tasks, including text summarization.

Lexical evolution rates by automated stability measure [PDF]
, 2009 Phylogenetic trees can be reconstructed from the matrix which contains the distances between all pairs of languages in a family. Recently, we proposed a new method which uses normalized Levenshtein distances among words with same meaning and averages on all the items of a given list.

Automatic vigilance for negative words in lexical decision and naming : comment on Larsen, Mercer, and Balota (2006) [PDF]
, 2008 An automatic vigilance hypothesis states that humans preferentially attend to negative stimuli, and this attention to negative valence disrupts the processing of other stimulus properties.

The contribution of the two hemispheres to lexical decision in different languages
Behavioral and Brain Functions, 2012 BackgroundBoth reading words and text in Arabic is slower than in other languages, even among skilled native Arabic speakers Previously we have shown that the right hemisphere (RH) had difficulty in matching Arabic letters, and suggested that it cannot ...
