Mental Lexicon
Search model
Lexical processing is achieved indirectly through a set of modality specific access files containing perceptual representations of words
-
-
Access files matched against input separately for orthographic, phonological and semantic input
-
Lexical status
if look like words, require an exhaustive search
-
-
-
-
Connectionist models
-
Feature level
visual features, letter features for each position in the word
-
-
Competition between letter units for dominancy, activity relies on net input
-
-
-
-
-
Cohort model
-
Access stage
-
All activated in parallel, multiple candidates
-
-
Gating tasks
Small fragment followed by increasingly longer fragments, asked to identify word after each gate

Effects
-
-
-
-
Noise/masking
Words presented clearly or without a prior mask are responded to more quickly: masks presented before or after tend to slow response times
-
-
-
-
Semantic priming effects
-
Associative: commonly associated: fast, automatic, early in life, bottom up
Taxonomic: slow, strategic, depends on expectancies, develops later in life.
-
Logogen Model
-
Activation builds up over time in logogens which receive direct activation from the stimulus, depends on how often they are activated

Swinney
-
