Repetition priming in an auditory lexical decision task: Effects of lexical status [PDF]
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 ...

Experimental psycholinguistics as an approach to the study of lexical creation
This paper presents an innovative experimental psycholinguistic methodology for the exploration of neology and lexical creation, which may prove crucial for characterising neology in both general and specialised language domains.

The effects of age-of-acquisition and frequency-of-occurrence in visual word recognition: Further evidence from the Dutch language [PDF]
It has been claimed that the frequency eOEect in visual word naming is an artefact of age-of-acquisition: Words are named faster not because they are encountered more often in texts, but because they have been acquired earlier. In a series of experiments

Moving beyond Kucera and Francis: a critical evaluation of current word frequency norms and the introduction of a new and improved word frequency measure for American English [PDF]
Word frequency is the most important variable in research on word processing and memory. Yet, the main criterion for selecting word frequency norms has been the availability of the measure, rather than its quality.

The Missing Link between Morphemic Assemblies and Behavioral Responses:a Bayesian Information-Theoretical model of lexical processing [PDF]
We present the Bayesian Information-Theoretical (BIT) model of lexical processing: A mathematical model illustrating a novel approach to the modelling of language processes. The model shows how a neurophysiological theory of lexical processing relying on

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.

Abstract, emotional and concrete concepts and the activation of mouth-hand effectors [PDF]
According to embodied and grounded theories, concepts are grounded in sensorimotor systems. The majority of evidence supporting these views concerns concepts referring to objects or actions, while evidence on abstract concepts is more scarce.

Lexical Decision, Parafoveal Eccentricity and Visual Hemifield
The effect of the eccentricity of parafoveal stimulation on a lexical decision task was studied using stimuli presented to the two visual hemifield. Five-letter word and nonword stimuli were presented to three parafoveal locations ranging over 1 degree angle of eccentricity. Subjects responded manually.

This paper presents an evaluation of an ensemble--based system that participated in the English and Spanish lexical sample tasks of Senseval-2. The system combines decision trees of unigrams, bigrams, and co--occurrences into a single classifier.
