Control properties of semantic coding in a lexical decision task

TLDR
The authors showed that the semantic relatedness effect is greatly reduced when orthographically illegal, unpronounceable strings were used as negative items, which supports the conclusion that options may be exercised on which of the codes representing a letter string are used in making lexical decisions.

Toward an interactive-compensatory model of individual differences in the development of reading fluency

TL;DR: This paper found that good and poor readers tend to use the redundancy inherent in natural language to speed word recognition, and that general comprehension strategies and rapid context-free word recognition appear to be the processes that most clearly distinguish good from poor readers.

Are lexical decisions a good measure of lexical access? The role of word frequency in the neglected decision stage.

TL;DR: It is argued that decision processes having little to do with lexical access accentuate the word-frequency effect in the lexical decision task and that results from this task have questionable value in testing the assumption that word frequency orders the lexicon, thereby affecting time to access the mental lexicon.

A Diffusion Model Account of the Lexical Decision Task

TL;DR: The diffusion model for 2-choice decisions (R. Ratcliff, 1978) was applied to data from lexical decision experiments in which word frequency, proportion of high- versus low-frequency words, and type of nonword were manipulated.

Lexical representation of cognates and noncognates in compound bilinguals

TL;DR: In this article, the representation of words in a Dutch-English bilingual lexicon was examined, and within and between-language repetition-priming and associative (semantic)-priming effects were compared.

Statistical Principles in Experimental Design

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the principles of estimation and inference: means and variance, means and variations, and means and variance of estimators and inferors, and the analysis of factorial experiments having repeated measures on the same element.

Facilitation in recognizing pairs of words: Evidence of a dependence between retrieval operations.

TL;DR: The results of both experiments support a retrieval model involving a dependence between separate successive decisions about whether each of the two strings is a word.

Evidence for phonemic recoding in visual word recognition

TL;DR: In this paper, strong evidence was obtained from three experiments to support the hypothesis that the recognition of a visually presented word entails phonemic (auditory/articulatory) recoding, and the latencies obtained in a task of deciding whether a visual presented word was English or nonsense supported two additional hypotheses: (a) phonemic recoding occurs during the quantization stage; and (b) it is the phonemic form of the stimulus and of the representations of the entries in the internal lexicon that are compared to achieve the recognition.
