Abstract
Les effets de la taille du voisinage des mots (nombre de mots que l'on peut creer en modifiant une lettre d'un mot) sur la performance, dans des tâches de decision lexicale (LDT) sont etudies en relation avec la frequence d'emploi des mots, a travers quatre experiences

Journal of Experimental Psychology Human Perception & PerformanceAre lexical decisions a good measure of lexical access? The role of word frequency in the neglected decision stage.
1,145 Citations1984David A. Balota, James I. Chumbley
It is argued that decision processes having little to do with lexical access accentuate the word-frequency effect in the lexical decision task and that results from this task have questionable value in testing the assumption that word frequency orders the lexicon, thereby affecting time to access the mental lexicon.

556 Citations1985Mark S. Seidenberg
Differences in the manner in which writing systems represent phonology are not relevant to the recognition of common words, consistent with a parallel interactive model of word recognition in which orthographic and phonological information are activated at different latencies.

This chapter considers the sorts of processes that may be involved in accessing the authors' mental lexicon, in both single- and multi-word utterance types, and both in speech and writing as well as in production and comprehension.

Results suggest that phonological representations play a significant role in visual word recognition and that there is a dependence between successive phonemic-encoding operations.

Journal of Experimental Psychology Human Perception & PerformanceAllocation of attention during visual word recognition.
247 Citations1976Curtis A. Becker
A dual-task paradigm was used to assess attentional processing demands during visual word recognition and it was argued that the procedure estimates the attention demands of the memory-access component of word recognition.
Journal of Memory and LanguageSome criticisms of connectionist models of human performance
241 Citations1988Dominic W. Massaro
The assumption of interactive activation of specific connectionist models is shown to be both unnecessary and inconsistent with empirical results, and other important properties of connectionism are to be found in existing process models of pattern recognition.
Journal of Experimental Psychology Human Perception & PerformancePerceptual flexibility in word recognition: Strategies affect orthographic computation but not lexical access.
194 Citations1978Thomas H. Carr, Brian J. Davidson +1 more
Dissociation between word and pseudoword identification indicates the operation of two independent encoding mechanisms during tachistoscopic recognition, a stimulus-specific or logogenlike system sensitive to particular familiar strings and an orthographic mechanism sensitive to generally applicable constraints on letter sequencing.
Memory & CognitionTerminating and exhaustive search in lexical access
154 Citations1976Kenneth I. Forster, Elizabeth S. Bednall
It is concluded that the search model adequately explains the procedure whereby the most common meaning of a homograph is accessed, but that the less common meaning is accessed in some completely different manner.
Memory & CognitionCriterion bias and search sequence bias in word recognition
145 Citations1981Ruby O’Connor, K. I. Forster
Six experiments that were designed to test the adequacy of criterion bias explanations of the word frequency effect and the semantic priming effect are reported, and it was found that criterion bias models correctly predicted higher error rates in a lexical decision task for nonwords that were misspelled versions of high-frequency words.

A computational, parallel activation model of word naming is reported here and it is shown that the model accounts for all relevant data derived from cross-linguistic studies, patients with acquired dyslexia, and word and nonword naming tasks.

Generalizations of the Scheffe, Tukey, and Bonferroni-t techniques are presented, each of which controls the experimentwise error rate for a particular type of partially or fully planned analysis.
