| Popis: | This study provides further evidence for the hypothesis that performance in the lexical decision task is based on the output of a signal detection mechanism, as implemented by the multiple read-out model of word recognition (MROM; J. Grainger & A. M. Jacobs, 1996). We extend the MROM to allow predictions of receiver operating characteristics in a data-limited variant of the lexical decision task and show that the model provides accurate descriptions of the data. Our results challenge all models of word recognition that do not include a familiarity assessment mechanism. They also suggest that under data-limited conditions a deadline mechanism for generating "no" responses in the lexical decision task may not necessarily be functional. |
