TL;DR

The current study developed, validated, and illustrated the advantage of a lexical decision database for MSA in three (virtual) experiments, and showed that the database largely replicates well-documented effects in visual word recognition (lexicality, word length, word frequency, word neighborhood size).

An experimental and computational study of an Estonian single-subject word naming experiment

A large-scale single-subject experiment combining the word naming task with eye-tracking revealed a novel phenomenon, namely that when the lexical route is not functioning, response latencies increase, spoken word durations decrease, and the speaker likely resorted to naming with the non-lexical grapheme-to-phoneme nam...

Language is a factor in the identification and processing of number words.

Since the 1990s, the fields of numerical cognition and psycholinguistics have evolved largely independently. However, the research since then demonstrates that language and numbers are intrinsically related, particularly in multilingual contexts. Language characteristics (e.g., morpho-syntactic properties) and language...

EXPRESS: Measuring Individual Differences in Word-Meaning Disambiguation.

Theories of the mental lexicon must explain how people use context to interpret ambiguous words (e.g., "internal organ" vs. "musical organ") and why people vary on this core aspect of comprehension. Theoretical development has been hampered by the lack of reliable tests of disambiguation skill. We introduce a task in w...

An Investigation into the Lexical Associations of Turkish Learners of English

Vocabulary knowledge is a key dimension of second language (L2) proficiency, yet the network organisation of words in the mental lexicon warrants further exploration. This study investigated the L2 English lexical associations of Turkish learners to unravel an understudied topic within this specific context. The study...

Translation direction and word familiarity in word translation: an fNIRS study of intermediate Japanese learners of English

Introduction Many studies have examined the neural bases of word translation based on the revised hierarchical model (RHM). However, the findings reported thus far, mostly focusing on advanced or elementary second-language (L2) learners, have been diverse and often inconsistent. Thus, to explore possible neural bases f...
