Lateralization effects in lexical decision tasks

Brain and Language, 1979
Abstract Subjects were timed as they judged whether items presented to them were English words or not. Comparisons were made between responses to nouns and to verbs, on the one hand, and between concrete and abstract nouns, on the other hand. No asymmetries were found.

INSTRUCTIONS AND WORD BIAS IN A LEXICAL DECISION TASK

Psychological Reports, 2005
During a lexical decision task, identification of words is usually faster and more accurate than identification of nonwords. Normally, when instructions are presented to participants, an emphasis is placed on identifying words. The purpose of this study was to assess whether changing the instructions so emphasis is placed on identifying nonwords would ...

The effects of associative and semantic priming in the lexical decision task

Psychological Research, 2002
Four lexical decision experiments were conducted to examine under which conditions automatic semantic priming effects can be obtained. Experiments 1 and 2 analyzed associative/semantic effects at several very short stimulus-onset asynchronies (SOAs), whereas Experiments 3 and 4 used a single-presentation paradigm at two response-stimulus intervals ...

The lexical decision task as a measure of L2 lexical proficiency

EUROSLA Yearbook, 2006
Prior applications of the lexical decision task in second language research have either examined performance accuracy (Meara and Buxton 1987) or speed of response to familiar items (Segalowitz and Segalowitz 1993). This paper examines how well the two measures together serve to discriminate among between-group levels of proficiency and within-group ...

A tale of two lexical-decision tasks

Language Ecology, 2020
AbstractAs a probe into the degree of integration of the bilingual lexicon, a series of lexical-decision tasks was carried out in two bilingual speech communities with greatly differing linguistic, cultural, and socio-historical characteristics: Misiones province in northeastern Argentina (Portuguese-Spanish), and three indigenous communities in ...

Orthographic neighborhood and concreteness effects in the lexical decision task

Brain and Language, 2004
The experiment reported here investigated the sensitivity of concreteness effects to orthographic neighborhood density and frequency in the visual lexical decision task. The concreteness effect was replicated with a sample of concrete and abstract words that were not matched for orthographic neighborhood features and in which concrete words turned out ...

Investigating thought disorder in schizophrenia with the lexical decision task

Schizophrenia Research, 1995
Prior work has found evidence of hyperpriming in schizophrenics, which has been related to a persistence of associational activation in thought disorder. We extended this work by administering a lateralized version of the lexical decision task to 10 thought-disordered schizophrenics (TD), 10 non-thought-disordered schizophrenics (NTD), and 11 control ...

Evidence for Perceptual Defense Using a Lexical Decision Task

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
In a tachistoscopic experiment employing a lexical-decision task, it was demonstrated that emotional (“taboo”) words are not responded to as quickly or as accurately as non-emotional (“neutral”) words by 32 college students. The results suggest evidence for “perceptual defense” uncontaminated by response bias.

Conflicting strategies and hemispheric suppression in a lexical decision task

Brain and Cognition, 2004
The research tests the prediction of the inhibitory-interaction hypothesis that experience with a task accentuates the functional imbalance between the hemispheres. Right-handed males who were experienced readers were presented a letter string to the centre visual field for lexical decision.

Primed Lexical Decision Task in Fearful and Nonfearful Individuals

The Journal of Psychology, 2009
Participants were 32 spider-fearful, 33 blood-injury-injection-fearful, and 28 nonfearful individuals (N = 93) who took part in a primed lexical decision task (LDT) and who were presented with blood-, spider-, neutral-, positive-, and pseudo-word stimuli.
