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

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.

Context concreteness for the second constituent slows down compound-word processing
Lexis: Journal in English Lexicology, 2022 The present paper investigates the effects of valence, arousal, and concreteness norms produced in Warriner et al. [2013], Brysbaert et al. [2014], and Snefjella & Kuperman [2016] on English compounding.

Modeling lexical decision : the form of frequency and diversity effects [PDF]
What is the root cause of word frequency effects on lexical decision times? W. S. Murray and K. I. Forster (2004) argued that such effects are linear in rank frequency, consistent with a serial search model of lexical access. In this article, the authors

Age-Dependent Positivity-Bias in Children’s Processing of Emotion Terms
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 Emotions play an important role in human communication, and the daily-life interactions of young children often include situations that require the verbalization of emotional states with verbal means, e.g., with emotion terms.

Discrete emotion effects on lexical decision response times. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Our knowledge about affective processes, especially concerning effects on cognitive demands like word processing, is increasing steadily. Several studies consistently document valence and arousal effects, and although there is some debate on possible ...

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 ...

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.

Language and CognitionWe examined the impact of risk-taking propensity on lexical decision performance in neurologically intact participants. Following the classification of participants into high- and low-risk-taking propensity groups using the Balloon Analogue Risk Task, we

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
