Title: | The influence of orthographic neighborhood density and word frequency on visual word recognition: Insights from rt distributional analyses | Authors: | Lim, S.W.H | Issue Date: | 2016 | Citation: | Lim, S.W.H (2016). The influence of orthographic neighborhood density and word frequency on visual word recognition: Insights from rt distributional analyses. Frontiers in Psychology 7 (MAR) : 401.

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 mediated predominantly by distributional shifting whereas for high-frequency words, density effects were absent except at the slower RTs, implicating distributional skewing. The present findings suggest that density effects in low-frequency words reflect processes involved in early lexical access, while the effects observed in high-frequency words reflect late postlexical checking processes. © 2016 Lim. | Source Title: | Frontiers in Psychology | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/181378 | ISSN: | 16641078 | DOI: | 10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00401 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
