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

Retroactive Semantic Priming in a Lexical Decision Task

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section A, 1988
The present study reports two experiments that required subjects to name target items preceded by a masked prime. Additionally, and subsequent to the naming task, subjects were required to indicate whether or not the prime was a word, along with a confidence rating of their lexical decision.

Semantic priming in the lexical decision task: roles of prospective prime-generated expectancies and retrospective semantic matching.

Journal of Experimental Psychology. Learning, Memory and Cognition, 1989
In semantic priming paradigms for lexical decisions, the probability that a word target is semantically related to its prime (the relatedness proportion) has been confounded with the probability that a target is a nonword, given that it is unrelated to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Strategic Associative Priming in the Lexical Decision Task

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section A, 1994
Two experiments explore the nature of prelexical expectancy processes in the lexical decision task. The strength of the prime-target relationship and the size of the associative set defined by the prime were manipulated in both experiments. In Experiment 1, the proportion of strong relative to weak primes induced subjects to include strong and weak ...

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.

Deficient response modulation and emotion processing in low-anxious Caucasian psychopathic offenders: results from a lexical decision task.

Emotion, 2002
The clinical and research literatures on psychopathy have identified an emotion paradox: Psychopaths display normal appraisal but impaired use of emotion cues. Using R. D. Hare's (1991) Psychopathy Checklist-Revised and the G. S.

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.

Dissociative affective and associative priming effects in the lexical decision task: yes versus no responses to word targets reveal evaluative judgment tendencies.

Journal of Experimental Psychology. Learning, Memory and Cognition, 2000
The affective priming effect (AP; i.e., shorter evaluative or lexical decision latencies for affectively congruent prime-target pairs) has often been interpreted as evidence for spreading activation from the prime to affectively congruent targets.
