Frequency drives lexical access in reading but not in speaking: the frequency-lag hypothesis [PDF]

, 2011
To contrast mechanisms of lexical access in production versus comprehension we compared the effects of word frequency (high, low), context (none, low constraint, high constraint), and level of English proficiency (monolingual, Spanish-English bilingual ...

Risk-taking propensity and its influence on lexical decision performance: a comparative study of high- and low-risk groups

Language and Cognition
We 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

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 ...

Attentional modulation of orthographic neighborhood effects during reading: Evidence from event-related brain potentials in a psychological refractory period paradigm [PDF]

, 2018
It is often assumed that word reading proceeds automatically. Here, we tested this assumption by recording event-related potentials during a psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, requiring lexical decisions about written words. Specifically, we

Lexical decision in a phonologically shallow orthography [PDF]

Memory & Cognition, 1980
The Serbo-Croatian language is written in two alphabets, Roman and Cyrillic. Both orthographies transcribe the sounds of the language in a regular and straightforward fashion and may, therefore, be referred to as phonologically shallow in contrast to English orthography, which is phonologically deep.

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.

The mechanism underlying backward priming in a lexical decision task: Spreading activation versus semantic matching [PDF]

, 1998
Koriat (1981) demonstrated that an association from the target to a preceding prime, in the absence of an association from the prime to the target, facilitates lexical decision and referred to this effect as "backward priming".

BALDEY: A database of auditory lexical decisions [PDF]

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2015
In an auditory lexical decision experiment, 5541 spoken content words and pseudowords were presented to 20 native speakers of Dutch. The words vary in phonological make-up and in number of syllables and stress pattern, and are further representative of the native Dutch vocabulary in that most are morphologically complex, comprising two stems or one ...

Asymmetries in perceptual adjustments to non-canonical pronunciations

Laboratory Phonology, 2021
This paper examines two plausible mechanisms supporting sound category adaptation: directional shifts towards the novel pronunciation or a general category relaxation of criteria.

The Massive Auditory Lexical Decision (MALD) database [PDF]

Behavior Research Methods, 2018
The Massive Auditory Lexical Decision (MALD) database is an end-to-end, freely available auditory and production data set for speech and psycholinguistic research, providing time-aligned stimulus recordings for 26,793 words and 9592 pseudowords, and response data for 227,179 auditory lexical decisions from 231 unique monolingual English listeners.
