Masked priming has a short and somewhat controversial history. When used as a tool to
study whether semantic processing can occur in the absence of conscious awareness …

Research on unconscious or unaware vision has demonstrated that unconscious
processing can be flexibly adapted to the current goals of human agents. The present review …

The paper opens with an evaluation of the BIA model of bilingual word recognition in the
light of recent empirical evidence. After pointing out problems and omissions, a new model …

Five experiments are reported in which the picture naming performance of bilingual
speakers in a language-switching task was explored. In Experiment 1, Spanish learners of …

Speeded visual word naming and lexical decision performance are reported for 2,428 words
for young adults and healthy older adults. Hierarchical regression techniques were used to …

Semantic priming has been a focus of research in the cognitive sciences for more than thirty
years and is commonly used as a tool for investigating other aspects of perception and …

The authors present a model of the phonotactic and orthographic constraints of Australian
and Standard Southern British English monosyllables. This model is used as the basis for a …

Most words in English have more than one syllable, yet the most influential computational
models of reading aloud are restricted to processing monosyllabic words. Here, we present …

Performance on three different tasks was compared: naming, lexical decision, and reading
(with eye fixation times on a target word measured). We examined the word frequency effect …

This article presents a theory of visual word recognition that assumes that, in the tasks of
word identification, lexical decision, and semantic categorization, human readers behave as …
