however, is constrained by age of acquisition (AoA); that is, the age at which learning occurs …

Abstract Words and pictures with earlier learned labels are processed faster than words and

The present experiment investigated the influence of 5 intercorrelated variables on word
recognition using a multiple regression analysis. The 5 variables were word frequency …
