A word's meaning affects the decision in lexical decision.
The influence of an isolated word's meaning on lexical decision reaction time (RT)was demonstrated through four experiments. Subjects in two experiments made lexical decision judgments, those in a third experiment pronounced the words used in the lexical decision task, and those in a fourth experiment quickly pronounced their first associative response to the words. Differences in lexical acces...
متن کاملThe relatedness-of-meaning effect for ambiguous words in lexical-decision tasks: when does relatedness matter?
Effects of the number of meanings (NOM) and the relatedness of those meanings (ROM) were examined for Japanese Katakana words using a lexical-decision task. In Experiment 1, only a NOM advantage was observed. In Experiment 2, the same Katakana words produced a ROM advantage when Kanji words and nonwords were added. Because the Kanji nonwords consisted of unrelated characters whereas the Kanji w...
متن کاملVisual motion interferes with lexical decision on motion words
Embodied theories of cognition propose that neural substrates used in experiencing the referent of a word, for example perceiving upward motion, should be engaged in weaker form when that word, for example ‘rise’, is comprehended [1–3]. This claim has been broadly supported in the motor domain (for example [4,5]), whilst evidence is supportive, but less clear cut, for perception (for example [6...
متن کاملProcessing Ambiguous Words: Are Blends Necessary for Lexical Decision?
A previous computational model (Joordens & Besner, 1994) has suggested that during lexical access, ambiguous words tend toward a blend state; that is, network activations settle into an incorrect state that is a mixture of the multiple representations of the ambiguous item. It has been suggested that this blend state actually aids lexical decision (LD) for ambiguous items as the blend state cre...
متن کاملDiscrimination in lexical decision
In this study we present a novel set of discrimination-based indicators of language processing derived from Naive Discriminative Learning (ndl) theory. We compare the effectiveness of these new measures with classical lexical-distributional measures-in particular, frequency counts and form similarity measures-to predict lexical decision latencies when a complete morphological segmentation of ma...
