Lexical decision time as a function of visual field and stimulus probability.

H Babkoff, Y Ben-Uriah

    Cortex; a Journal Devoted to the Study of the Nervous System and Behavior
    |April 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Lexical decision time for Hebrew words is faster than for non-words, with right visual hemifield advantage for words. Non-word processing is unaffected by hemifield but influenced by stimulus probability.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Linguistics

    Background:

    • Lexical decision tasks assess word recognition speed.
    • Hemispheric specialization influences language processing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Investigate lexical decision time for Hebrew trigrams.
    • Examine effects of stimulus probability, visual hemifield, and responding hand.

    Main Methods:

    • Two experiments using lexical decision tasks.
    • Stimuli: Hebrew word and non-word trigrams.
    • Variables: stimulus probability, visual hemifield, responding hand.

    Main Results:

    • Lexical decision time was shorter for words than non-words.
    • Words showed a right hemifield advantage; non-words did not.

  • Non-word decision time decreased linearly with increased stimulus probability.
  • Word decision time decreased concavely with increased stimulus probability.

    • Conclusions:

    • Hebrew word recognition exhibits right-hemispheric processing advantages.
    • Stimulus probability differentially affects word and non-word processing.
    • Responding hand did not significantly impact lexical decision times.
