A counterintuitive and theoretically important pattern of results in the visual word recognition literature is that both word frequency and stimulus quality produce large but additive effects in lexical decision performance. The additive nature of these effects has recently been called into question by Masson and Kliegl (in press), who used linear…

Yap, Melvin J.; Balota, David A.; Tan, Sarah E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
The present study sheds light on the interplay between lexical and decision processes in the lexical decision task by exploring the effects of lexical decision difficulty on semantic priming effects. In 2 experiments, we increased lexical decision difficulty by either using transposed letter wordlike nonword distracters (e.g., JUGDE; Experiment 1)…

Balota, David A.; Cortese, Michael J.; Sergent-Marshall, Susan D.; Spieler, Daniel H.; Yap, Melvin J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2004
Speeded visual word naming and lexical decision performance are reported for 2,428 words for young adults and healthy older adults. Hierarchical regression techniques were used to investigate the unique predictive variance of phonological features in the onsets, lexical variables (e.g., measures of consistency, frequency, familiarity, neighborhood…
