Lexical decision and the number of morphemes and affixes

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, 2013
There has been a considerable amount of research looking at the effects of both syllable number and syllable frequency on lexical decision and word naming times. Recently, there has also been an increased interest in morphological variables, but there have been no large scale studies that have examined the role of the number of morphemes in lexical ...

Sequential dependencies in the lexical decision task

Psychological Research, 1997
Two experiments addressed whether response latency in a trial of the lexical decision task is independent of the lexical status of the item presented in the previous trial. In Exp. 1, it was found that both word and nonword responses were significantly slower when the previous trial had involved a nonword than when it had involved a word. In Exp.

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 ...

Lexical access to inflected words as measured by lateralized visual lexical decision

Psychological Research, 1998
In two lateralized visual lexical decision experiments conducted with normal subjects, we studied hemispheric performance in the recognition of case-inflected Finnish nouns. Previous research employing mainly locative cases has indicated that such noun forms undergo morphological decomposition.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 (
