Phonological Encoding in the Lexical Decision Task

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1979
In lexical decision experiments, subjects have difficulty in responding NO to non-words which are pronounced exactly like English words (e.g. BRANE). This does not necessarily imply that access to a lexical entry ever occurs via a phonological recoding of a visually-presented word.

Associative Strength Effects in the Lexical Decision Task

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section A, 1990
Four experiments explore the role of automatic and attentional processing in producing strength effects in a lexical decision task. Experiment I manipulated the relative proportion of related and unrelated pairs, the stimulus-onset-asynchrony (SOA), and the strength of the prime–target relationship.

A Further Examination of Word Frequency and Age-of-Acquisition Effects in English Lexical Decision Task Performance: The Role of Frequency Trajectory

Journal of Experimental Psychology. Learning, Memory and Cognition, 2019
Word frequency is an important predictor of lexical-decision task performance. The current study further examined the role of this variable by exploring the influence of frequency trajectory. Frequency trajectory is measured by how often a word occurs in

Sequential dependencies in the lexical decision task

Psychological Research, 1997
Two experiments addressed whether response latency in a trial of the lexical decision task is independent of the lexical status of the item presented in the previous trial. In Exp. 1, it was found that both word and nonword responses were significantly slower when the previous trial had involved a nonword than when it had involved a word. In Exp.

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

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 ...

Concreteness and Context Availability in Lexical Decision Tasks

The American Journal of Psychology, 2006
Abstract Three experiments were carried out to elucidate the origins of the concreteness (C) effect in a lexical decision task. The first experiment was a replication of the work of Schwanenflugel et al. (1988) and Van Hell and De Groot (1998), who presented the context availability (CA) hypothesis.

Evidence for Perceptual Defense Using a Lexical Decision Task [PDF]

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.

The effect of preview eccentricity in a lexical decision task

Visual Cognition, 2004
We report lexical decision experiments in which eye movements and lexical decision time were analysed. The results show that nonwords produced more fixation than words, and that the time to make a lexical decision was also greater for nonwords. Further, a preview of the stimulus was presented on some occasions either at fixation or peripherally.

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.

On the nature of neutral primes in a lexical decision task

Psychological Research, 1986
Research concerned with semantic priming has used a neutral prime as a benchmark for measuring the amount of facilitation for related targets and the amount of inhibition for unrelated targets. Recently, de Groot, Thomassen, and Hudson (1982) have reported that lexical decisions to targets are faster when preceded by the neutral prime “BLANK” as ...
