Auditory Lexical Decision and Repetition in Children

Ear & Hearing, 2016
The objective of this study was to identify factors that may detract from children's ability to identify words they do and do not know. Factors investigated were acoustic constraints stemming from the presence of hearing loss (HL) or an acoustic competitor, and lexical constraints due to an impoverished or cluttered vocabulary.Eleven children with ...

Lateralization effects in lexical decision tasks

Brain and Language, 1979
Abstract Subjects were timed as they judged whether items presented to them were English words or not. Comparisons were made between responses to nouns and to verbs, on the one hand, and between concrete and abstract nouns, on the other hand. No asymmetries were found.

Influence of hedonic tone on lexical decisions [PDF]

Current Psychological Research & Reviews, 1975
A lexical decision task was used to investigate the effect of a word’s hedonic tone on decision time. Thirty words, varying in degrees of pleasantness, were randomly presented with 30 nonwords, half of which were pronounceable and half not. It was demonstrated that decision times for the pleasant words were significantly faster than for the unpleasant ...

Semantic priming and sensitivity in lexical decision.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1993
Farah (1989) argued that qualitatively different attentional mechanisms underlie perceptual and semantic priming. The crux of this argument is her claim that semantic priming, unlike perceptual priming, does not alter sensitivity. It is suggested that the evidential base for this claim is weak, and 4 experiments are reported in which semantic priming ...

Detecting inherent bias in lexical decision experiments with the LD1NN algorithm

, 2011
A basic assumption of the lexical decision task is that a correct response to a word requires access to a corresponding mental representation of that word.

Lexical access and lexical decision: mechanisms of frequency sensitivity

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1983
Three models of lexical access and lexical decision—the serial search model, the two-dictionary model, and a parallel-access, criterion-bias model—were tested in a large experiment (148 subjects, 458 words) comparing the effects of mixed- and blocked-frequency presentation on correct lexical decision times. Reaction times were faster for high-frequency

INSTRUCTIONS AND WORD BIAS IN A LEXICAL DECISION TASK

Psychological Reports, 2005
During a lexical decision task, identification of words is usually faster and more accurate than identification of nonwords. Normally, when instructions are presented to participants, an emphasis is placed on identifying words. The purpose of this study was to assess whether changing the instructions so emphasis is placed on identifying nonwords would
