  1. 1word naming
    A word is presented on a computer screen and the time it takes a subject to [blank_start]name[blank_end] the word is recorded.
    Note that this methodology could reflect processing that is even [blank_start]shallower[blank_end] than that which occurs during lexical [blank_start]decision[blank_end].
    1. Aname
    2. Bshallower
    3. Cdecision
  2. 2Priming
    Typically combined with a [blank_start]lexical decision[blank_end] task for the target stimulus.
    A [blank_start]prime[blank_end] stimulus is presented for a brief period.
    This is replaced by a [blank_start]target[blank_end] stimulus which is displayed until the subject [blank_start]responds[blank_end].
    If the prime and target share some characteristic and this characteristic is [blank_start]relevant[blank_end] to lexical processing (i.e., represented within the system responsible for processing that stimulus), then it will influence response [blank_start]latencies[blank_end].
    Priming is very widely used within cognitive psychology - it can tell us a lot about representation of [blank_start]knowledge[blank_end].
    1. Alexical decision
    2. Bprime
    3. Ctarget
    4. Dresponds
    5. Erelevant
    6. Flatencies
    7. Gknowledge
  3. 3Lexical status
    Classifying a letter [blank_start]string[blank_end] as a nonword takes [blank_start]longer[blank_end] than classifying a string as a word
    Rubensein , Garfield & Millan (1970)
    1. Alonger
    2. Bstring
  4. 4[blank_start]Nonword[blank_end] legality
    Time to respond to an orthographically illegal string is [blank_start]shorter[blank_end] time to respond to an orthographically legal string.
    1. Ashorter
    2. BNonword
  5. 5[blank_start]Word[blank_end] similarity

    Responses to orthographically legal nonwords which are [blank_start]similar[blank_end] to words are longer than responses to those that are [blank_start]dissimilar[blank_end] to words.
    1. AWord
    2. Bsimilar
    3. Cdissimilar
  6. 6[blank_start]Repetition[blank_end] priming
    Responses to words are quicker when they are [blank_start]primed[blank_end] by themselves than when they are not.
    1. Aprimed
    2. BRepetition
  7. 7[blank_start]Semantic[blank_end] priming
    Responses to words are quicker when they are preceded by a word that is semantically [blank_start]related[blank_end] than they are when preceded by a word that is semantically [blank_start]unrelated[blank_end].
    1. Arelated
    2. Bunrelated
    3. CSemantic
  8. 8Visual degradation
    Responses to words which are degraded take [blank_start]longer[blank_end] than responses to words that are not.
    1. Alonger
  9. 9Word frequency
    Time to respond to high frequency word is [blank_start]shorter[blank_end] than time to respond to a low frequency word.
    Generally considered a [blank_start]hallmark[blank_end] effect in word identification
    1. Ashorter
    2. Bhallmark
  10. 10Word [blank_start]superiority[blank_end] effect
    It takes less time to decide whether or not a specified letter appears in a stimulus when that stimulus is a [blank_start]real[blank_end] word compared to a [blank_start]nonword[blank_end] letter string.
    1. Asuperiority
    2. Breal
    3. Cnonword
