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

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

Lexical Simplification Benchmarks for English, Portuguese, and Spanish [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Even in highly-developed countries, as many as 15-30\% of the population can only understand texts written using a basic vocabulary. Their understanding of everyday texts is limited, which prevents them from taking an active role in society and making informed decisions regarding healthcare, legal representation, or democratic choice.

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.

Orthographic cues to lexical stress: Effects on naming and lexical decision [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 1998 Words whose spellings represent regular phonemic patterns, such as mint, show advantages in naming and lexical decision tasks over words, such as pint, that have exceptional relations between orthographic and phonemic patterns. We have extended such phenomena to the domain of lexical stress, by showing that disyllabic words whose spellings are ...

How trial-to-trial learning shapes mappings in the mental lexicon: Modelling Lexical Decision with Linear Discriminative Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Trial-to-trial effects have been found in a number of studies, indicating that processing a stimulus influences responses in subsequent trials. A special case are priming effects which have been modelled successfully with error-driven learning (Marsolek, 2008), implying that participants are continuously learning during experiments.

, 2020 To test the BIA+ and Multilink models’ accounts of how bilinguals process words with different degrees of cross-linguistic orthographic and semantic overlap, we conducted two experiments manipulating stimulus list composition.

Can children with speech difficulties process an unfamiliar accent? [PDF]
, 2001 This study explores the hypothesis that children identified as having phonological processing problems may have particular difficulty in processing a different accent. Children with speech difficulties (n = 18) were compared with matched controls on four

Intelligent Modeling for In-Home Reading and Spelling Programs
Computers, 2023 Technology-based in-home reading and spelling programs have the potential to compensate for the lack of sufficient instructions provided at schools. However, the recent COVID-19 pandemic showed the immaturity of the existing remote teaching solutions ...

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 ...
