Contextual diversity, not word frequency, determines word-naming and lexical decision times.
Word frequency is an important predictor of word-naming and lexical decision times. It is, however, confounded with contextual diversity, the number of contexts in which a word has been seen. In a study using a normative, corpus-based measure of contextual diversity, word-frequency effects were eliminated when effects of contextual diversity were taken into account (but not vice versa) across t...
متن کاملComparing Word Processing Times in Naming, Lexical Decision, and Progressive Demasking: Evidence from Chronolex
We report performance measures for lexical decision (LD), word naming (NMG), and progressive demasking (PDM) for a large sample of monosyllabic monomorphemic French words (N = 1,482). We compare the tasks and also examine the impact of word length, word frequency, initial phoneme, orthographic and phonological distance to neighbors, age-of-acquisition, and subjective frequency. Our results show...
متن کاملEvaluation of word embeddings against cognitive processes: primed reaction times in lexical decision and naming tasks
This work presents a framework for word similarity evaluation grounded on cognitive sciences experimental data. Word pair similarities are compared to reaction times of subjects in large scale lexical decision and naming tasks under semantic priming. Results show that GloVe embeddings lead to significantly higher correlation with experimental measurements than other controlled and off-the-shelf...
متن کاملPredicting Word-Naming and Lexical Decision Times from a Semantic Space Model
We propose a method to derive predictions for single-word retrieval times from a semantic space model trained on text corpora. In Experiment 1 we present a large corpus analysis demonstrating that it is the number of unique semantic contexts a word appears in across language, rather than simply the number of contexts or the frequency of the word, that is the most salient predictor of lexical de...
متن کاملDissociating the influence of familiarity and meaningfulness from word frequency in naming and lexical decision performance.
Performance in two experiments was compared on a list of words of high and low frequency in which familiarity/meaningfulness (FM) was balanced and on a list of high- and low-frequency words in which FM was confounded with frequency (i.e., high frequency--high familiarity vs. low frequency--low familiarity). Both repetition and task (lexical decision and naming) were investigated. In the lexical...
