Abstract:
The present study used a lexical naming task as well as a regular naming task and a lexical decision task for locating the frequency effects in lexical decision and naming. The naming of Chinese characters in the lexical naming task (pseudocharacters also presented as in the lexical decision task) involves decision processes, while they are absent in the regular naming task. Since naming a Chinese character necessarily involves lexical access, a decision component of the frequency effect in lexical decision can be isolated. This procedure will not work for alphabetic orthographies, because sublexical processes underestimate the frequency effect in the regular naming task. As a consequence, not only can a prelexical component of the frequency effect in lexical decision be estimated, but a postlexical component of the frequency effect in naming can be estimated.

Time Reversal mirrors a continuous-time signal about the vertical axis at t=0. This is achieved by substituting t with −t. For example, if a signal x(t) is considered, the time-reversed signal is x(−t). This operation can be graphically represented, showing the mirrored signal.
