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]
Behavior Research Methods, 2009 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.

Early EEG correlates of word frequency and contextual predictability in reading [PDF]
Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019 Previous research into written language comprehension has been equivocal as to whether word frequency and contextual predictability effects share an early time course of processing.

Word frequency effects found in free recall are rather due to Bayesian surprise [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 The inconsistent relation between word frequency and free recall performance (sometimes a positive one, sometimes a negative one, and sometimes no relation) and the non-monotonic relation found between the two cannot all be explained by current theories.

Word Frequency Effects in Naturalistic Reading. [PDF]
Lang Cogn Neurosci, 2020 Word frequency is a central psycholinguistic variable that accounts for substantial variance in language processing. A number of neuroimaging studies have examined frequency at a single word level, typically demonstrating a strong negative, and sometimes

The Word Frequency Effect in Word Processing: An Updated Review [PDF]
Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2017 The word frequency effect refers to the observation that high-frequency words are processed more efficiently than low-frequency words. Although the effect was first described over 80 years ago, in recent years it has been investigated in more detail. It has become clear that considerable quality differences exist between frequency estimates and that ...

Individual differences in adult handwritten spelling-to-dictation [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 We report an investigation of individual differences in handwriting latencies and number of errors in a spelling-to-dictation task. Eighty adult participants wrote a list of 164 spoken words (presented in two sessions).

The Effect of Word Frequency on Judgments of Learning: Contributions of Beliefs and Processing Fluency. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2015 Previous research has shown that word frequency affects judgments of learning (JOLs). Specifically, people give higher JOLs for high-frequency (HF) words than for low-frequency (LF) words.

Early Brain Sensitivity to Word Frequency and Lexicality During Reading Aloud and Implicit Reading [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 The present study investigated the influence of lexical word properties on the early stages of visual word processing (<250 ms) and how the dynamics of lexical access interact with task-driven top-down processes.
