Slattery, Timothy J.; Staub, Adrian; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
An important question in research on eye movements in reading is whether word frequency and word predictability have additive or interactive effects on fixation durations. A fair number of studies have reported only additive effects of the frequency and predictability of a target word on reading times on that word, failing to show significant…

Nakayama, Mariko; Sears, Christopher R.; Lupker, Stephen J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Recent studies have found that masked word primes that are orthographic neighbors of the target inhibit lexical decision latencies (Davis & Lupker, 2006; Nakayama, Sears, & Lupker, 2008), consistent with the predictions of lexical competition models of visual word identification (e.g., Grainger & Jacobs, 1996). In contrast, using the…

Sears, Christopher R.; Campbell, Crystal R.; Lupker, Stephen J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
What is the effect of a word's higher frequency neighbors on its identification time? According to activation-based models of word identification (J. Grainger & A. M. Jacobs, 1996; J. L. McClelland & D. E. Rumelhart, 1981), words with higher frequency neighbors will be processed more slowly than words without higher frequency neighbors because of…
