The authors used a lexical-decision task in 3 different experiments to examine whether age
differences in word recognition were consistent across processing stage. In all experiments …

The acquisition of new skills over a life span is a remarkable human ability. This ability,
however, is constrained by age of acquisition (AoA); that is, the age at which learning occurs …

This study investigated how lexical access in naming tasks (picture naming, naming to open-
ended sentences, and naming to category exemplars) might be influenced by different …

Three experiments investigated word frequency and age of acquisition (AoA) effects in
recognition and recall. Experiments 1 and 2 used the “remember–know” procedure …

In this paper we present a self-organizing neural network model of early lexical development
called DevLex. The network consists of two self-organizing maps (a growing semantic map …

We present a neurocomputational model with self-organizing maps that accounts for the
emergence of taxonomic responding and fast mapping in early word learning, as well as a …

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 …

An experiment was conducted to address age-related differences in lexical access,
spreading activation, and pronunciation. Both young and older adults participated in a …

This study is concerned with recent claims that subjective measures of word frequency are
more suitable than are standard word frequency counts as indices of actual frequency of …

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 …
