The Omission of Accent Marks Does Not Hinder Word Recognition: Evidence From Spanish
Recent research has found that the omission of accent marks in Spanish does not produce slower word identification times in go/no-go lexical decision and semantic categorization tasks [e.g., cárcel (prison) = carcel], thus suggesting that vowels like á ...

Repetition and practice effects in a lexical decision task [PDF]
Ss classified visually presented verbal units into the categories "in your vocabulary" or "not in your vocabulary." The primary concern of the experiment was to determine if making a prior decision on a given item affects the latency of a subsequent lexical decision for the same item.

Nonword facilitation in a lexical decision task. [PDF]
It has been reported in previous experiments that in a lexical decision task, sentence contexts facilitate decisions for nonword targets relative to a neutral context condition (e.g., Schuberth & Eimas, 1977). The present three experiments investigated possible explanations for this nonword facilitation effect, using moderately predictable sentence ...

A model for evidence accumulation in the lexical decision task [PDF]
We present a new model for lexical decision, REM-LD, that is based on REM theory (e.g., ). REM-LD uses a principled (i.e., Bayes' rule) decision process that simultaneously considers the diagnosticity of the evidence for the 'WORD' response and the 'NONWORD' response.

Auditory perception modulated by word reading [PDF]
Theories of embodied cognition positing that sensorimotor areas are indispensable during language comprehension are supported by neuroimaging and behavioural studies.

Language control and parallel recovery of language in individuals with aphasia [PDF]
Background: The causal basis of the different patterns of language recovery following stroke in bilingual speakers is not well understood. Our approach distinguishes the representation of language from the mechanisms involved in its control.

Plenty of studies have been conducted to reveal neurocognitive underpinnings of conceptual representation. Compared with that of concrete concepts, the neurocognitive correlates of abstract concepts remain elusive.

Phonological priming in the lexical decision task: A failure to replicate [PDF]
Some models of the lexicon predict that recognition of words should produce activation spreading to phonologically related words. Consistent with this prediction, Hillinger (1980) demonstrated priming in a visual lexical decision task for word targets preceded by graphemically similar or graphemically dissimilar primes that rhymed with the target.

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 ...

Effect of noise on priming in a lexical decision task [PDF]
The study was designed to assess the impact of arousal, induced by white noise, upon priming in lexical decisions. The subjects classified letter strings as words or nonwords. “Priming effect” refers to the fact that it takes less time to classify “butter” as a word after making a decision about a related word, like “bread,” than after classifying an ...
