Is More Always Better for Verbs? Semantic Richness Effects and Verb Meaning
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 We examined how several semantic richness variables contribute to verb meaning, across a number of tasks. Because verbs can vary in tense, and the manner in which tense is coded (i.e., regularity), we also examined how these factors moderated the effects

Shock and awe: Distinct effects of taboo words on lexical decision and free recall
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2017 Taboo stimuli are highly arousing, but it has been suggested that they also have inherent taboo-specific properties such as tabooness, offensiveness, or shock value. Prior studies have shown that taboo words have slower response times in lexical decision

Auditory Lexical Decision [PDF]
Language and Cognitive Processes, 1996 Auditory lexical decision entails speeded classification of spoken words and nonwords. Given its implicit requirement of full lexical processing, auditory lexical decision has wide applicability. Indeed, the paradigm is currently used to study basic processes in word recognition, the nature of the mental lexicon, effects of word frequency, neighbour ...

Spectro-temporal correlates of lexical access during auditory lexical decision [PDF]
Brain and Language, 2014 Lexical access during speech comprehension comprises numerous computations, including activation, competition, and selection. The spatio-temporal profile of these processes involves neural activity in peri-auditory cortices at least as early as 200 ms after stimulation.

Repetition priming in an auditory lexical decision task: Effects of lexical status [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 1997 The effect of lexical status on the time course of repetition priming was examined in an auditory lexical decision task. Words and nonwords were repeated at lags of 0, 1, 4, and 8 items (Experiment 1A) and 0, 2, 4, and 8 items (Experiment 1B). The pattern of repetition effects differed for words and nonwords in that repetition priming for nonwords at ...

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Previous studies have shown that iconic gestures presented in an isolated manner prime visually presented semantically related words. Since gestures and speech are almost always produced together, this study examined whether iconic gestures accompanying
