Since When or How Often? Dissociating the Roles of Age of Acquisition (AoA) and Lexical Frequency in Early Visual Word Processing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Adorni, Roberta; Manfredi, Mirella; Proverbio, Alice Mado – Brain and Language, 2013
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of both word age of acquisition (AoA) and frequency of occurrence on the timing and topographical distribution of ERP components. The processing of early- versus late-acquired words was compared with that of high-frequency versus low-frequency words. Participants were asked to perform an…

The Effect of Sublexical and Lexical Frequency on Speech Production: An fMRI Investigation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shuster, Linda I. – Brain and Language, 2009
There is no consensus regarding the fundamental phonetic units that underlie speech production. There is, however, general agreement that the frequency of occurrence of these units is a significant factor. Investigators often use the effects of manipulating frequency to support the importance of particular units. Studies of pseudoword production…

Lexical Competition is Enhanced in the Left Hemisphere: Evidence from Different Types of Orthographic Neighbors
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Perea, Manuel; Acha, Joana; Fraga, Isabel – Brain and Language, 2008
Two divided visual field lexical decision experiments were conducted to examine the role of the cerebral hemispheres in orthographic neighborhood effects. In Experiment 1, we employed two types of words: words with many substitution neighbors (high-"N") and words with few substitution neighbors (low-"N"). Results showed a facilitative effect of…
