The effects of orthographic neighborhood density and word frequency in visual word recognition were investigated using distributional analyses of response latencies in visual lexical decision. Main effects of density and frequency were observed in mean latencies. Distributional analyses additionally revealed a density × frequency interaction: for low-frequency words, density effects were mediat...

one of the most important concerns of persian language and literature academy (farhangestaan) has been creating words in the specialized and general areas in different periods. the third academy has started word creation with the general area. since word making belongs to the area of morphology, it should follow its special principles. the writer of this paper presents the principles of morphol...

1. The problem of rdation between the frequency and age of a word is only a small part of the general problem of opposition of the synchronic and diachronic aspects of language. The frequency is obviously a purely synchronic characteristic of a word whereas the age (the time interval t between the appearance of the word and the present moment) is a purely diachronic one. However there is a simp...

A major issue in lexical processing concerns storage and access of lexical items. Here we make use of the base frequency effect to examine this. Specifically, reaction time to morphologically complex words (words made up of base and suffix, e.g., agree+able) typically reflects frequency of the base element (i.e., total frequency of all words in which agree appears) rather than surface word freq...

objective: professional nursing is recognised for having high working anxiety levels due to continuous interaction with patients, their family and colleagues in a high stress working environment. as a compilation of non cognitive skills and abilities, emotional intelligent could be helpful in controlling stress and increasing the individual’s productivity at work. intensive care units’ employee...

Prior work has shown that when responses to incidentally encoded words are sorted, subsequently remembered words elicit greater left prefrontal BOLD signal change relative to forgotten words. Similarly, low-frequency words elicit greater activation than high-frequency words in the same left prefrontal regions, contributing to their better subsequent memorability. This study examined the relativ...
