Lexical Access and Age.
Cerella, John; Fozard, James L.
Developmental Psychology, v20 n2 p235-43 Mar 1984
Attempts to isolate lexical access latencies by measuring word-naming times in two conditions: (1) words were preidentified and had only to be pronounced on signal; (2) words had to be both identified and pronounced. Results strengthen the conclusion that vocal programing is exempt from the age declines seen in other sensory-motor tracts. (Author/AS)
