Using the megastudy approach, we report a new database (MEGALEX) of visual and
auditory lexical decision times and accuracy rates for tens of thousands of words. We …

Empirical work and models of visual word recognition have traditionally focused on group-
level performance. Despite the emphasis on the prototypical reader, there is clear evidence …

In recent years, psycholinguistics has seen a remarkable growth of research based on the
analysis of data from large-scale studies of word recognition, in particular lexical decision …

Ah yes, the word! The word is as central to psycholinguists as the cell is to biologists. In the
present chapter, I review some of the major issues that have been addressed in visual word …

Sereno, O'Donnell, and Sereno (2009) reported that words are recognized faster in a lexical
decision task when their referents are physically large than when they are small, suggesting …

The visual word recognition literature has been dominated by the study of monosyllabic
words in factorial experiments, computational models, and megastudies. However, it is not …

A large number of studies have demonstrated that semantic richness dimensions [eg,
number of features, semantic neighborhood density, semantic diversity, concreteness …

Much research has explored how spoken word recognition is influenced by the architecture
and dynamics of the mental lexicon (eg, Luce and Pisoni, 1998; McClelland and Elman …

A central question in spoken word recognition research is whether words are recognized
relationally, in the context of other words in the mental lexicon (McClelland and Elman …

Efficient word recognition depends on the ability to overcome competition from overlapping
words. The nature of the overlap depends on the input modality: spoken words have …
