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.

Lateralized Lexical Decision in Schizophrenia: Hemispheric Specialization and Interhemispheric Lexicality Priming.

Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 2003
Reports of left-hemisphere dysfunction and abnormal interhemispheric transfer in schizophrenia are mixed. The authors used a unified paradigm, the lateralized lexical decision task, to assess hemispheric specialization in word recognition, hemispheric error monitoring, and interhemispheric transfer in male, right-handed participants with schizophrenia (

The lexical decision task as a measure of L2 lexical proficiency

EUROSLA Yearbook, 2006
Prior applications of the lexical decision task in second language research have either examined performance accuracy (Meara and Buxton 1987) or speed of response to familiar items (Segalowitz and Segalowitz 1993). This paper examines how well the two measures together serve to discriminate among between-group levels of proficiency and within-group ...

Auditory lexical decision in the wild

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018
The present report describes a version of the MALD (Massive Auditory Lexical Decision) database which investigates listener performance in the often crowded TELUS World of Science—Edmonton (TWOSE) on tablets with headphones, with most participants experiencing varying levels of uncontrolled distraction.

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 ...

Pseudohomophone priming in lexical decision is not fragile in a sparse lexical neighborhood.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
In lexical decision, to date few studies in English have found a reliable pseudohomophone priming advantage with orthographically similar primes (the klip-plip effect; Frost, Ahissar, Gotesman, & Tayeb, 2003; see Rastle & Brysbaert, 2006, for a review).

Priming by pictures in lexical decision

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1984
Cross-form priming of words by pictures was compared to within-form priming of words by words in a lexical decision task. For prime—target pairs containing repetitions of a concept or semantically related concepts, pictures provided priming of word targets in magnitudes at least as large as the priming provided by words themselves.

Lexical decisions with homophones and homonyms

Current Psychological Research & Reviews, 1975
In two experiments homophones, homonyms, and control words were presented aurally in a lexical decision task. Response times for homophones were significantly faster than those for homonyms and control words, whereas the latter two did not differ. It was concluded that lexical decision times do not provide evidence for multiple entries in the internal ...
