Previous research on the effects of age of acquisition on lexical processing has relied on
adult estimates of the age at which children learn words. The authors report 2 experiments in …

An important determinant of picture and word naming speed is the age at which the names
were learned (age of acquisition). Two related interpretations of these effects are that they …

Studies of lexical processing have relied heavily on adult ratings of word learning age or
age of acquisition, which have been shown to be strongly predictive of processing speed …

Six experiments are reported that contrasted the effects of frequency and age of acquisition
on written word recognition. Age of acquisition affected word-naming speed when frequency …

Young and old adults were shown pictured or written verbs and asked to name them as
quickly as possible. Simultaneous multiple regression was used to investigate which of a set …

Age of acquisition (AoA) has been reported to be a predictor of the speed of reading words
aloud (word naming) and lexical decision, with early‐acquired words being responded to …

This paper reports four experiments on the effects of word age of acquisition in verbal tasks.
In all cases, multiple-regression analysis was used to assess the relative effects of age as …

This paper reports two experiments concerning the effects of word age-of-acquisition on
word naming speed and auditory recognition of words presented at a low volume. The first …

Word frequency is widely believed to affect object naming speed, despite several studies in
which it has been reported that frequency effects may be redundant upon age of acquisition …

Lexical access, the time required to recover the meaning of a word, was measured in 12
young (mean age 24 yrs) and 12 old (mean age 73 yrs) Ss. Access time was unaffected by …
