Phonological Priming in Japanese-English Bilinguals: Evidence from Lexical Decision and ERP
… (e.g.,サイド, /saido/,”side”). In Experiment 1, lexical decisions to English words were facilitated when they were preceded by phonologically similar versus dissimilar primes, particularly when the primes were one-Kanji words and when they were Katakana words. Experiment 2 generally replicated …

Thought and action: Event-related potentials and behaviour in a primed and speeded lexical decision task.
… from 10 subjects during semantically primed lexical decisions in an Accuracy condition (response deadline 700 msec) and a Speed condition (deadline 450 msec). Targets were the prime's antonym, an unrelated word, or a nonword. The Speed condition reduced response time (RT) and accuracy, but …

The use of the auditory lexical decision task as a method for assessing the relative quality of synthetic speech
… The method involves the use of an auditory lexical decision task to assess the quality of synthetic speech generators relative to each other and to natural speech by using reaction time differences and error rates. Seven voices were evaluated; four synthesizers provided six voices (DECtalk …

The Effect Of Word Sociality On Word Recognition
… recognition data using the visual and auditory lexical decision tasks. The results consistently demonstrated that sociality is one of the most robust predictors of lexical decision performance. Overall, it appears that the visual lexical decision task is quite sensitive to the likelihood of …

Semantic Effects In Word Recognition And Picture Naming Are Moderated By Body-Object Interaction
… using Body-Object Interaction (BOI). Lexical decision times are influenced by ratings of Danger and Usefulness. In a frequently-found interaction, thought to be produced by activated approach-withdraw motor responses, increasing Danger ratings produce faster responses for items with …

Is semantic priming influenced by capacity?
… general hypotheses: 1) latencies are longer for lexical-decision tasks than they are for naming task due to the increased capacity demands of the lexical-decision task, and 2) priming found with the keypress task is greater than the priming found with the vocal tasks due to facilitatory …

The Relationship Between Cognitive And Linguistic Abilities In Bilingual Children
… (resistance to distractor interference) and the Lexical decision task as the measure of reading ability (processing words and discarding pseudohomophones). Performance in the Flanker task predicted performance in the lexical decision task. However, the amount of time practice reading (measured …

The effect of printed word attributes on Arabic reading
… variables on Arabic word naming and lexical decision. The present work therefore involved the creation of a database of 1,474 unvowelised letter strings, which was used to undertake four studies. The first study presented lists of unvowelised letter strings and asked participants to …

The effects of word characteristics on children's reading
… of reading for good and poor readers and lexical decision performance for average readers. It also appeared that as reading ability improved, word properties such as the Orthographic Neighbour Ratio, which takes into account neighourhood size and frequency affected reading accuracy in the …

A MEG investigation of lexical access in aphasia
… or both. The present study examined spreading lexical activation in people with aphasia by implementing thorough clinical evaluation, a series of listening tasks, and a time sensitive means of tracking cortical activation. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) was used to measure the cortical activity …

L2 Phonetic Detail in L1 Lexical Processing
… unfamiliar accents cause delayed and disrupted lexical access during spoken word recognition, but that these effects are gradient and attenuated by factors including the degree of mismatch and listener experience (Andruski et al., 1994; Bent & Bradlow, 2003; Bradlow & Bent, 2008; Floccia et al., …

MULTIPLE SOCIAL CATEGORIZATION AND THE PERCEPTION OF MULTIPLE SOCIAL IDENTITIES THROUGH THE LENS OF INTERSECTIONALITY
… combined, and they subsequently completed a lexical decision task to measure category accessibility. There were no significant differences in mean lexical decision latencies by condition, indicating that the priming technique employed in this study was not effective. Implications and future …

THE PHONOGRAPHIC NETWORK OF LANGUAGE: USING NETWORK SCIENCE TO INVESTIGATE THE PHONOLOGICAL AND ORTHOGRAPHIC SIMILARITY STRUCTURE OF LANGUAGE
… experiments (auditory naming and auditory lexical decision) and an archival analysis of the English Lexicon Project (visual naming and visual lexical decision) were conducted to investigate the influence of two network science metrics derived from the phonographic network—phonographic …

The Effect of Race in Therapy
… watching the video, participants completed a lexical decision task, in order to measure their stereotype activation. Then, participants rated their impressions of the client on a questionnaire, which was our measure of stereotype application. In Study 2, participants were 73 undergraduate …

Depravity and the Protestant Work Ethic: Creativity in Western Religions
… that Protestants primed with dirty words in a lexical decision task produced more creative poems and clay sculptures than Protestants primed with clean words. Catholics and Jews produced more creative poems and sculptures when primed with clean words. These results are discussed in light of the …

The Effects of Age and Sex on Mental Rotation Performance, Verbal Performance, and Brain Electrical Activity
… Player mental rotation task, and a computerized Lexical Decision-Making task. Additionally, participants completed a paper-and-pencil Water Level task and an oral Verbal Fluency task. On the 2-dimensional Alphanumeric and 3-dimensional Basketball Player mental rotation tasks men performed better …

Morphological Sensitivity: A Hierarchical Analysis of Student and Word Factors
… students and the words that they read in a lexical decision priming task. The results demonstrate that more skilled readers are more morphologically sensitive while reading words than their less skilled peers, but only after accounting for qualities of the words.
